FreedomPhilosophy Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 That old meme still circulates that without government people would run around killing each other. But keeping the peace seems to be a big problem for big government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livemike Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Another example of Prices law of anarchist evil X: Whenever someone claims that evil X will thrive in an anarchist society, it will be found to be thriving in a statist society and the state will be contributing to it.

P. Mason Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hobbes's Paradox - If humans are inherently evil and the fear of death keeps them in line then any government created to manage them would be composed of the same evil people. Government would in fact be the worst thing to create since it would have a monopoly on force and no fear of death. A prison guarded by prisoners. Corelary - Evil people do not vote for good people to manage them and a minority of good people could not manage a majority of evil people.
