Strong doesn't mean large. I just mean has the ability to act decisively on behalf of its constituents. But yes. They will always corrupt. Positions of power rarely attract good people. My position is that governments cannot be kept out since they have strategic advantages, so how do we work with them while they still hold to some ideals? How do we help them maintain those ideals for as long as possible? And how do we throw off the yoke when they become despotic?

Strong states = means of control backed by threats of violence, if not an outright monopoly on violence. A strong state is what an individual should be, not a weak minded collective of humans that aren't capable of behaving themselves without threat of jail or bodily harm

Yes, but such a circumstance will never occur unless people become convinced of the benefits that arise from being self-sufficient. Once this occurs, people will see just how much governments and certain corporate leaders have expended their utility.
