The coolest person in the world. Even though she may be a spaz at times, she's super cool and is definitely one of the nicest people I know
Dude, Coconuts was being so awesome today. She gave me lunch money - and I don't even have to pay her back.

Coconut Island is an analogy to the coercion that naturally takes place when there is a power imbalance. The analogy is a rebuttal to the idea of "voluntary interactions" under the framework of anarcho-capitalism. The analogy goes as follows. You are on a plane which crash lands onto an island. You are one of the two only survivors. While you were unconscious, the other survivor gathered all of the coconuts on the island (the only source of food) into a pile, sheltered that pile with all the wreckage of the plane, and declare they own it. And they say they are willing to give you some coconuts if you throat your cock. The question then presented is, "Is that a voluntary interaction?"
Adam: We can have a voluntary system that does the same things as government without all of the coercion of government.
Vaush: How would that system not impose coercive measures on the workers of its society? Consider the Coconut Island analogy. Your options are to die or throat a cock. That is coercion. That is exactly the system we live under via capitalism and would not be done away with in an ancap society.
