I can't answer yet because I'm not sure what you're asking for. Do you mean for libertarianism and below? all of them? or something else?

I guess my question was misleading. OBVIOUSLY you wouldn't (admit to) want a diagram in which a gun is pointed at someone's head. And I guess, in that sense, the diagram does serve a purpose -- ridiculing the gun. Nevertheless, once one points out the gun (the forceful stealing of money from other people, be it for your own defense contractors, or for your own education or healthcare), surely you can no longer support that? (And we agree on the objectivity of the gun, right? Ie. not sharing is NOT the same thing as holding a gun to someone's head, right? (Except in the extreme Proudhonian sense in which a super-evil-monopolist owns all the land, and somehow manages to bring all the others to the brink of starvation, clamouring at the gates of his compound.))
