Call Spooner what you like, Laughing Boy, but in the end all you've done is evaded his argument by labelling him then dismissing that label. In short, you have not even addressed the issue before you.

No you nincompoop, I'm a Libertarian and therefore a big fan of the anarchist Lysander Spooner. He was a famous abolitionist, as would be consistent with his individualist anarchist leanings. I think it is hilarious that neo-Confederates are using individualist anarchistic arguments to support their slavemaster ideology. It is the height of irony and hypocrisy.

If that is so, why do you have such a problem with his legal arguments when they are supportive of the south?

He was a famous abolitionist...

Spooner was also a a major supporter of John Brown and probably financed part of his raid on Harper's Ferry. Spooner fully supported the South's worst dream --- he advocated abolitionists instigate slave uprisings throughout the south and the murder of the slaveocrats. Spooner even had a conspiracy going to kidnap the Gov. of Virginia and hold him as ransom for the release of Brown and his followers.

And 140 years late he's morphed into a neo-confederate hero! Go figure. These guys are too damn funny.
