Appreciate the insights and resources provided.
So let me put like this: our civilized society that we think respects (or at least tries to) our fundamentals rights is basically based on the fact that the problems are just exported to someone else (or a different process) in which the respect of those fundamentals is not really enforced. It's like we are happy with our garbage being collected and managed by State simply because we are in the country that exports it to other countries, not the one that is being paid to throw it in its lands and have its people live on top of it?

Problems exported to somebody else... How is that different on either side?

A market outsources that rationing to money-mediated prices and property rights, a government upholding "fundamental" rights do so via violence and taxation

a government upholding "fundamental" rights do so via violence and taxation

To add: Therefore, it is unsurprising that both violence and taxation are what the state declares its own "fundamental rights." And exclusively theirs.
