If there was no state, would not life be "nasty and brutish and short"?
What, in the study of human history and pyschology, shows that if people were completely free that they would not live in a state of "the war of all against all"?
In every situation and every example in all recorded humanity: where the state breaks down - do we not see civil war, gangsterism, robber baron capitalism, violence, and grotesque conditions? Does anarchy not lead us to Mogadishu, rather than the Kibbutz?
