There may be some majority but if the balance did move to this ratio the influence of the state would start diminishing very rapidly. People would basically be in open defiance of the state in many, many areas. Once that ball gets rolling, it will be very difficult to stop.

I agree that the collective force of the majority would be hard to stop. How does that make it "more just" than the current majority being unstopable, unless you happen to agree with the moral code of that future hypothetical majority?

What force?
How is it unjust? You can't impose your moral code upon others until you demonstrate membership in a superior moral class. And I haven't seen anyone do that. I haven't even seen anyone *assert* that such a class exists.

Refusing to be imposed upon is not an imposition upon others. These other people's "moral codes" don't change this at all.
[/ QUOTE ]
No, this is wrong. You are defining imposition within your own moral code and then saying it's not an imposition for when you act on your moral code because it doesn't violate the terms of your moral code. This is circular. If you stick to this, then you must also grant me the moral authority to say "In my moral code the state is not an imposition because participation is a moral obligation. Therefore when I collect taxes with force it's not imposition because it's not imposition under my moral code."

You snipped the important part:
[ QUOTE ]
If there is a conflict between two people with different "moral codes" the only way to consistently proceed is to either
1) get voluntary consent from both parties before an interaction proceeds (assuming both are in equal moral classes)
2) demonstrate that one party is in a superior moral class to the other, and therefore does not need consent to initiate the transaction
3) not interact
[/ QUOTE ]
It's quite simple. The only way one can trump the other is if one is superior to the other. Do you believe all men are created equal? Yes or no, please.
