Government is Irrational.

So you are saying that's not what governments do?

But since you're using examples from history of systems which haven't worked has a country ever been successful and thriving with a good health care system and economy while in a state of anarchy?

There hasn't been a country free from initiation of violence. Since very few people in the world are rational thinkers. Good people just have to submit to the violence and live successful private lives, and try not to receive too many blows to the head from the primitive.

The definition of Anarchy is rules, but no rulers.

If having an entity exempt from rules and morality that claims to be in society's best interest overseeing society is a principle for you, who will oversee the overseers?
