You are looking at the title and saying what the heck? A conqueror and major Abrahamic religions? Get outta here. How can this pertain to libertarians or anarchists for that matter? For those unfamiliar with the name “Temuchin” that was the actual name of the Genghis Khan (which is a title) who built the foundation of the Monogol empire. In addition, he and major religions violated the NAP on a consistent basis and held very few if any modern day libertarian or anarchist views themselves. So that begs the question – what can we learn from this dude and major religions?

What we need to do is take a big picture view and look at the overall methodology from these central structures to gain fundamental insight on how they came into being and more importantly how they are/were run. Temuchin used violence, but his diplomacy brought multiple tribes in Mongolia with different ideologies together to bring about a fighting force that would become one of the world’s biggest empires. What is interesting about this is that it used initial decentralized protocols to create a fighting force that could take on the Chinese army then conquer most of the Earth. Empires all fall eventually, but we can learn how the organizational structures exist and then reverse engineer it to prevent further central constructs or institutions from existing – to do this, we need to look at how world religions are run.
