Politics of consent and state intervention from a postcolonial perspective

[Contag]

The politics of consent and the use of coercive force by the state is related to a vast range topics which I anticipate to be frequently argued over in section (e.g. non-violent pedophilia, drug use, multiculturalism and so on).

I feel that I should present the following as a sort of alternate groundwork/framework for these debates.

Sorry about the length, but maybe you'll learn something at the end, or have many new questions.

Worst case scenario, you think I'm a dickhead, and we get to argue for many glorious pages!
(and no it wasn't written with FP, but eh, I'm Australian so screw 'adapting' it)
