Which is why a lot of people (generally called minarchists) support having those basic services of national defense, courts and police handled by some form of government. I learned long ago not to argue that people can survive without some form of government around here, so that's why I stick mostly with minarchism, although it gets equated with anarchy and chaos anyway, so why bother?
Does it not strike anyone that what minarchism wants to whittle things down to is a government that is utterly paternalist? Defense, courts and police and nothing else? All masculine roles, no feminine roles of nurturing or what not.
