... man must impose restraints on himself for the objectives distant in time and needing to be directed in space... His initiative will be wasted unless he also inhibits himself; he must be able to count upon others who participate in the exchange to observe like long-term inhibitions.

^this is what man is, he is initiative and creation itself. For, government cannot create. only man can create.

... there must be and agency to witness long-term contracts and see that they are fulfilled in the absence of either of the parties, or to enforce an agreed penalty in case of default. the appropriate authority for this purpose is therefore delegated to government.

^"this is what government does, and all it can do. It is a prohibitory and expropriative agency."

"Initiative is life itself."

@EVoCeO this sums it up pretty good.

ELI5. There is only 6% death rate on deaths solely attributed to COVID-19?

Comorbidity is way higher.

" Where force is the arbiter, government ceases."

"... assassination is a symptom of a grave imperfection in the mechanism, a reletively weak connection, or a point of disproportionate stress, where a break occurs."

Fallacy:
"... war and leadership seem to be synchronous developments. This is what lends plausibility to the theory that government originates in war and therefore that government per se is force."

Individual = authority
agent = government
private property = mechanism by which authority is manifested, energy converted from potential to kinetic

Government is our AGENT, subservient to our will as a society (whether it be two or 200,000), belief and most important (and most conflicting) moral construct.

The nature and an analogy of government, people and economy.

Here is clear example how some "entity" wants more than peaceful protests. This guy who looks like he has dyed blue hair and sunglasses, gets handled by a small group of peaceful protesters and the first thing he worries about is keeping his glasses on. Obviously trying to protect his identity. He carries a hammer to the protest to make projectiles out of things on site. Unfortunately, the cops can't wade into the protest line to stop him from breaking apart the street. It's a discouraged tactic because police will disappear in the crowd. Either way, this is extremely fishy. Who is planting these people or who are they in general? Any Thoughts?
