    Corruption is the issue when governments are involved with capital. Social inequality is the issue when private owners control the capital.

    My view is that having an army and control over the capital is too many eggs in the same basket.

      So… Without a government, there just wouldn’t be armies? Rich and powerful private citizens wouldn’t form their own armed forces?

        Why wouldn’t there be warlords? I’m not sure how this comment follows. Without a government, you get both eggs in one basket, which the original commenter agrees is bad.
