So trade “ownership” of land from one group of thugs with no authority to another group of thugs with no authority? Got it!
Isn't this "authority"? What is your alternative definition of "authority" that doesn't include the IRS? If authority is the ability for one to carry out one's will against others then isn't the IRS & the various layers of government part of a system of authority?

Nope. If my next door neighbors threaten me with a knife, by your definition they have authority over me.

Only if you obey them.

Authority is the aura of legitimacy. In essence no one has authority.

Or maybe "authority" is the ability of a person or organization to obtain your acquiescence whether under coercion or not. Who you obey is your authority. Legitimacy seems like a totally different issue to me.
