 Local Governments don't go to war with the city next to them.

You need people to group together to accomplish efficiency gains for people - we are far more productive together.

I'm also fine if there are local laws - I can move to the city across the state, or to another state rather easily.

Moving nations is pretty tough.

I think you going to the extreme to suggest we want no human organization. Central Government is the problem.

This is all being worked out now - decentralization is happening - just a matter of time. Laws/rules serve the rulers - always have, always will. 
 Local governments don’t go to war with the city next to them, because the federal government power (capacity for violence) is much greater than their own. 

You’re definitely anti-freedom. 
 You are trying way to hard to fit violence into your narrative.

The POWER of laws leading up to violence have done just as much or I would say MORE DAMAGE than the war itself. The war/violence is the relief valve for what has ALREADY happened. 
 You’re brainwashed if you want anything but equality under the law.  The “kings men” should have the same exact rights and restrictions as the rest of us.  Heck the king should have the same rights and restrictions as the rest of us. 
 You’re talking about the government’s violence.  That’s kinda the point of the people having the police powers, the “government” doesn’t get to have any more capacity for violence than the rest of us.
