Yes, I understand that
@Rob Roy hates government and has theorized about a government that lacks coercive power, which is not a government at all. It's kind of like drawing a circle and calling it a square. Naming it something that people can recognize doesn't make it a governmental system.
I'm quite certain about Roy's intentions with this kind of governmental theory. He wants to be able to do whatever the hell he wants to do, i.e. kill people, rape people, use any drug, and sell poison to people.
When I was an undergraduate philosophy major, we oftentimes had these nutcase anarcho-syndicalists come through our classes and offer these crackpot theories. They always had a problem with terminology--calling "government" a loose association that holds no real power. Take power out of "government" and it ceases to be a "government."
I get it. But
@roby Roy thinks he's clever. If such a system existed--such an anarchy-based system, it would be extremely harsh and only the strong and well-armed would survive, and they would establish a governmental system with power. Becuase without government, little else is possible.
There was a time period on earth when governments did not exist. This time period pre-existed the neolithic agricultural revolution, when humans hunted over large swaths of land in bands of 30 to 40 people. They moved with the game, and did not live in settled communities. There were some ironic advantages to this system, for example, men, women, and children all participated in hunts (acc. to archeological evidence), revealing that there wasn't a sexual division of labor. Moreover, people in these hunter-gatherer bands didn't experience tooth decay, nor did they suffer from many of the diseases that people in settled communities much later in human history experienced. There's debate if these bands had a leader or not, which would indicate government of some sort.
the point of understanding hunter-gatherer bands is that they didn't write anything down, probably didn't even have written language. They didn't theorize about their origins. They didn't build settled communities and they didn't leave records of their existence such as buildings, literature, mathematics, etc. All of these things became possible once human beings gradually transitioned to settled communities through the domestication of plants and animals that served as food source. Population exploded and then government had to be created to protect and sustain the food source for a growing population.
Once you add large numbers of people to a society, you must have a coercion-based government or else enemies will take you over or your people will starve to death. That's a fact of human history.
@Rob Roy can theorize all day about his perfect anarchist system, but it would never exist in real time anymore, and if it did, it'd resemble the traveling bands of hunter-gatherers and would appear post-apocalyptic given our standards in modern society.
