Political Science was my minor at university. It was taught in international relations and other classes countries were just gangs and their leaders the head gangbangers. No one gets upset if this is acknowledged on a nation relating to another nation basis. They only get upset when the comparison is then drawn in regards to the local gang and its neighborhood.If a mugger comes up to me and threatens violence, nobody would question a violent response. Give that mugger a title and a badge and suddenly statist utopian boot-lickers think the demand is the most proper thing they've ever seen and any resistance a crime.You make it sound like sociopaths are powerless without government. A Government is just a broader collaborative of population control. There will always be people in control, whether it is a mob or functioning government. The smaller the groups, the easier it is for sociopaths to take over. This is why power vacuums are so dangerous. Those who are so bold to takeover usually aren't the best of people.Greed without government is someone saying "I want that" over and over. Greed with government is using violence or the threat of violence to enrich the person using the government. It is no different from a simple mugger or shoplifter but for some reason people think it is acceptable when using the right label.You are thinking of greed. Government can't be trusted, big business can't be trusted, the general population can't be trusted. What do they all have in common, they consist of people. That is nature, people are flawed. Libertarians are deluded in their unjustified position that the people are not flawed. Libertarians will blame institutions of people, but not people in general.Hiring illegals is illegal.
If you dig deep enough, you'll find the government at the root of most problems.
Libertarians are often like the Utopianists in America back in the 19th century, where they thought they could create small collaborative communes. They never worked in the end.
Government and its officers may do good, just like the gang or mob may do some good and token acts of service to members of the neighborhood it runs, but in the end it rules by coercion and fear and all the arguments used by governments to show they are somehow different from a gang seem to always fail when looked deeply into. Also like the gang or mob, any good the government does for "regular people" really is just to protect and help the leaders prosper and do well and hide the fact they are pimping the general population.
