To elaborate further.
Before delving into the differences between the two, I'd say let's see if we at least agree on the basic principles.
Voluntaryism is based on the NAP, which in turn is based on the principle of self-ownership, from which everything else stems deductively.
When you criticize Rothbard, are you implying that "yes, the state is a coercive institution founded upon the aggression to private property and self ownership, but it's a necessary evil"?
Because that's exactly like someone saying, not too much time ago, "yes, slavery is bad, but it's a necessary evil".
