And you *still* haven't explained how your solution to preventing "irrational cults" from gaining nuclear weapons, to create a massive irrational cult to control society and then give it nuclear weapons, makes a lick of [censored] sense.

Which unacceptable or unwanted thoughts and/or emotions of mine am I attributing to others when I say "I know how statists do it - how do ACists think it should be done?"

For the umpteenth time, I'm not advocating anything, I'm asking someone who knows about AC to speculate on what the market solution would be.

You raise the problem of irrational cults acquiring and using nuclear weapons. And: "it seems to me is dealt with better by a state". And yes, you are giving moral support to the state:

Things I need a state for and which they currently handle? OK - the prevention of irrational psychos having free access to nuclear devices. The state prevents that (at least partially) and I'm very happy to continue paying taxes so that they keep doing it.

So: "Which unacceptable or unwanted thoughts and/or emotions of mine am I attributing to others" -->

You are extremely scared of the state because they wield the power of genocide. In fact, they have enacted genocide thousands of times and continue to do so. And instead of justly recognizing this evil and facing up to power (which when you do, you become an anarchist), you put other people on the defensive, claiming that the market would create these horrors. So the reason that you use this argument is because in your mind it's an incredibly powerful argument when used against *you*.
