What use is diplomacy without governments? Who do you negotiate with
when you're looking at a continent full of sovereign individuals?
Defense can and should be provided by the free market system.
I contend that no form of government can exist that is moral - since
government rely on coercive means to raise money (i.e. theft) they are
immoral - evil.
Since there can be no moral governments, then there should be no
governments. Support of government = support of theft and violence.
