Math has a liberal bias

I do not consider myself right wing, as I am against taxation of all sorts- both poor and rich should not be assisted by fruits of state violence, their shouldn't be violence to begin with. Preferably I would not want to see government agents of any sort, be it police, firemen, military, etc. These things should be privatised, and not funded by violence. But I would be extremely happy as is, if we had only front line services, rather than welfare states of poor and rich. So I would be satisfied with a minarchist society. I am not against government for being government, I am against violence of all sorts- the Government just happens to have a monopoly on violence- Wheras Somalia's violence is monopolised by gangs/militias- neither of which is any sort of ideal for me.

That's part of the problem, Chuckie. Eliminate the government and there's a power vacuum and it usually gets filled by the most undesirable sorts out there. Going without government sounds nice, but I don't think it's realistic; at least not on a macro scale. On a small scale, you can have small communities without any official laws, but the larger your community gets, the more difficult that is to pull off. Have you ever read Common Sense by Thomas Paine? He goes into a lot of this, right here. The big difference is that Thomas Paine wrote that phamplet over 200 years ago and the world has gotten even more globalized since then. It's getting more and more difficult to be a small, isolated community.

And the truth to the government is dependant on taxation. That was something else that should have been learned from the failure of the articles of confederation. If we have government, we need mandatory taxation.

Well, I know this isn't a macro example, but Ebay is a good example. To make a transaction between someone you have never met across the world requires an enormous amount of trust. Ebay is perhaps the most successful eCommerce website in the world, it is not dependent on Government intervention to regulate the markets from scheemers, scammers and thugs. It is dependent upon a user based reputation system or DRO model. It's extremely low cost, and it works.

I think there is capability of a successful economy not required on Government. The DRO model is the best alternative, which, long story short- is the eBay reputation system modified to the neccesary technology.
