Let's deep-dive into one of the classic criticisms of voluntarism and anarcho-capitalism: what happens when property rights clash with human desperation? Can "need" ever override property rights?

Are property rights truly absolute in ancap philosophy? Would a stateless society let people die? And what does "restitution" mean in a world without government courts?

Question from FunWithFacts in the July 2025 AMA: "How far do property rights go in an ancap society? For example, what if a person needed to steal some bread in order to avoid starving to death."
