It figures that you are unable to discriminate between the use of force in defense of rights versus the initiation of force to violate rights.

Like no civilians were harmed during the Civil War. Spooner talked about violence against civilian slaveholders. Osama committed violence against civilian bond traders and accountants. There is a difference, unless you consider every civilian who ever used a gun against a rapist to be the moral equivalent of someone who used a gun against an innocent bystander.

I advocate private violence used in self-defense.

Aside from guilt by association, I'm not sure what your point is re: Spooner, or why you
have a problem with somone advocating just guerilla warfare against a government that
advocated slavery.

As I explained, government leaders are considered legitimate targets under traditional rules of war.
