I created a separate section for the quotes from anarcho-capitalists like Walter Block and Murray Rothbard. Reading the Block quote, I feel like it wants an additional (sadly non-encyclopedic) snarky comment to the effect of, "Of course, Block is a putative libertarian who advocates for slavery, so he's probably a bad example of anything." Or is it that "Possession is nine-tenths of the law" is the folk-wisdom equivalent of "kid law" in Ruben Bolling's Tom the Dancing Bug and the fact that anarcho-capitalists are quoted in connection with it is due to those being the sort of people who take that sort of thing seriously?

I feel that some comments on the legal standing of this quote may be in order. A Guy into Books (talk) 14:28, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
