what exactly is individual sovereignty?
it appears to mean that each individual--whatever that category means (typically, it is not a category that signifies past a naive level, except as way of referring to the "i" which is the organizing center of perceptual experience)---is itself a state?
i assume then that popular sovereignty would be a problem because it involves a collective?
how do you have private property without a legal system that defines it?
how do you have a legal system if you only recognize individuals?
libertarians believe in john locke's theory of ownership?
but you understand that locke's state of nature is a fiction, yes?
