No State Required. Ever.

- in any circumstances.
 
Thunderbolt drew my attention to a superbly reasoned article by Stefan Molyneux, titled "Disproving the State." Stefan shows that no matter what we may think about the "goodness of mankind" the existence of a state is always destructive.
 
I have my ideas about whether humans are intrinsically good or evil, or some mix of both, and probably you do too. It doesn't matter. The state is never a solution.
 
Somehow I'd missed it - first published in 2005 - but it's a must-read.
