### The only persons morally bound by the agreement are the original
anarchists who unanimously and voluntarily set up the monopoly. Their
children raised in the area are not and cannot be parties to the
agreement, since an agreement is valid only if there is choice
relevant to the matter under agreement. The children grow up in a
monopoly system where they cannot choose, they must obey or face
destruction. Therefore, any of the children may, alone or with the
help of allies of their choice, legitimately challenge the system by
force.
