> Removing .gov from the equation isn't going to make power go away It will remove socially accepted coercive power. which accounts for 99% of property right violations around the world. Therefore there is great reason that by eradicating your gene-set, such power would be removed. > They would probably do very well The government was instrumentaly essential at every point of their activities. You're speculating at best. At worse, you're enabling their means to evil, hence the call for genocide. In an anarcho-capitalist envrionement there would be no national debt (no debt owned by an institution which can so reliably tax the shit out of their cattle without resistance to pay a rate of return) to fund the world wars, the UN wouldn't be able to preside over institutions that own and rule over most of humanity. There would be no population that would tolerate the laws that maintain fiat monopolies (even more essential to funding the world wars) or coercive cartels. The tolerance of coercion form national power is their primary conduit of power through which they operate, to say that they woudl fair just as well without it is hubris beyond your authority so I very much doubt you know anything about me, let alone what I mean. Your turn to explain how they would be able to achieve what they have without the state, go on.
