Suppose we take any nation state leader, suppose they are a parasite. We forcefully remove them, we leave, are we saying no one will step in to take their place? If we stay and enforce this new peace, are we not the parasite?
Hobbes call this entity the “Leviathan”.
This new peace you’re suggesting we enforce is an oxymoron. Using theft and violence to enforce “peace” is not peace at all.
Removing the leader doesn’t make all the other government institutions disappear.
So you’re suggesting the other option, overthrow the existing parasite and leave. See if another parasite doesn’t take its place.
I didn’t suggest anything. You made up this weird scenario where a government overthrows another government and just leaves. As if a government would make a selfless act like that lol
Whether another parasite takes its place doesn’t make it right. The question is, do you think people are capable of ruling themselves and fixing their own problems without having a slave master?
Do I think some people are capable of ruling themselves? Of course.
Do I think there will psychopaths that want to rule them? Also of course.
Will there be war? Of course.
