Some could call doing WHATEVER you want anarchy.

There are some rules unless you own an island where you can do what you want without violating another person’s rights.

On an island, you can get all drugged up, get on your tractor while nude in the moonlight and howl to your delight and nobody is hurt or will care.
Off the island, nobody wants to hear you or to get hit by someone while they are drugged up on their tractor or driving a car.

I guess I consider this common sense to some point.

If you are in the middle of nowhere and don’t effect your neighbor, then good day.

That's the point.... which the late Peter McWilliams documented admirably in his book Its Nobody's Business. William F. Buckley was said to be horrified by parts of it. But the spirit is quintessentially libertarian. Its about the absurdity of consensual crimes in a free country. John Stossel did a TV special on it. I found it a riveting read.

I'm in the middle of nowhere and nothing I do effects you but if I choose to do what you don't approve of you will send men with guns to my home in the middle of nowhere to arrest me.
