Actually, we don't need the State. We can have governance, without Government. One is voluntary, the other is not. One relies on cooperation and persuasion, the other on compulsion and violence. If this sounds utopian, the idea of limited government is utopian, and yet we gave it a go in America for nearly two and a half centuries. Why don't we try to go even farther in our experiments in liberty? One might argue that we shouldn't, for fear of ending up with something worse. After all, that's arguably what happened in America after the Revolution. I'd like to think that we have the benefit of some experience and history now with "representative" government that the Founders didn't have. Is it possible that we have learned anything and can make some advancements in the pursuit of liberty?
