Left to today's Anarchists there wouldn't have been any slavery in the first place.  How can
something have the right to engage in war when it doesn't have the right to exist in the first place?
Does Imperialism have the right to self-defense?  Taking actions which you know will kill innocent
people are unethical.  The only just war is the class war.
