My point was that it is possible to imagine that a political system without
a state could be created and made to work. One problem is that people don't
want a society without a state because they don't think ti could work for
various reasons. They all think there is something the government can do
that an institution that is funded by contractual subscription rather than
taxation could not. Since states are funded by taxation a person who lives
in a particular country can't refuse to financially support government
policy without moving somewhere else except at elections and even then the
chances are slim. A government is just a group of people who are no less
fallible than other people. So they make mistakes, like the current
psychiatric system and drug prohibition. Due to taxation governments do not
have anywhere near as big an incentive to change their policies, correct
their mistakes and to innovate as do companies. We should want at least as
muchb accountability from the people who protect us from crime as we do
from those who provide books or scented candles, not less as is currently
the case.
