That's some good bit o' history. I was really referring to the level of existing order needed to create *more* levels of order. I don't think it's possible to argue with that. It's like arguing what's the use of the Self? BECAUSE without it you'd turn into little slime molds looking for food.
But I like the sentiment. I think the problem is more than the State. It's the pathetic infrastructure that would be an eyesore for centuries.
Bear in mind that the "State" is a model of governance, not a synonym for governance. It is a failed model, as witness the Anthropocene Era's mass extinction even in progress and the pending human population crash. The most successful governments in history, from a quality of life and durability perspective, organized as bands > tribes > federations, governed by consensus-driven local councils. There was no "Sovereign" in sight, no presumption that the collective owns its members or their supposedly personal property. Nor did designated decision-makers have the authority to enforce their orders by violent means. Many people assume that keeping the World As We Know It intact and walking it back to conditions comparable to the 1950s is humanity's Great Mission Objective. I don't mind calling that mind set a mass suicide imperative. If the image of lemmings running off a cliff did not exist, it would have been necessary to create it. :D -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJZCPrIAAoJEECU6c5Xzmuqi7cH/iGRvDtCkCYtGl2JmOYM3q50 CZKQ6HAuHDWr9Pi6dC5/pGyLlhlHzjXJQqCcx/PaNGeCkeAHjBKw8K+LV+1efjbW wplJqcmRs9KuGkgjyhN/6QC16TkPOaZ10C2cyEkZw9M8bwE2sDVNDq7ZeG4geUs4 N8N79xwiBdd3IqaNW84Rm5R09PN20jh4CmJHRMCDK/pghmAKPAfxnsCXdS+iRNR4 TLONBueV9a3YoSe9wnunT2PmP7r7I0+eS45N+4UrSK1pVuSEt3PGa+QGlR9iLzkm K7a3Wan909I8BbylK/E/z6tH3N3lqCr1rUFvq3DZk29WvIfOMcjmIhxyeikOgH4= =WCgL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
