I’d still use the term “government” for this voluntary model, cause that’s what it is. Voluntary governance between cooperative (and respecting those uncooperative) individuals.

This “one weird fact” is why I shy away from blanket blaming “the government” for our collective inability to respect human liberty.

It’s up to us to start building the world we want, from the bottom up.
