Replying to Avatar Josephus

It still doesn’t change the fundamental elements of human nature and the propensity towards violence. Snap your fingers and all EXISTING states cease to exist and all their figureheads/bureaucrats also disappear…

10-20 years later, people will band together to share resources (eg: farmer coalition to ship goods to markets farther afield). Then someone threatens to rob those coalitions. Then someone becomes the “defender” of that coalition. Then that person becomes the new head of state.

Or, conversely, the robbers win and THEY become the new state.

Any time a person bares the power of enforcement of even MORAL rules (like contracts), they BECOME the state and serve that role.
