“the only thing government does better than the free market is violence. No free market can compete with the centralized violence of a national military. And it is precisely this consolidation of violent potential that maximizes the probability of committing mass military violence. No free market can enforce systemic democide, genocide, rounding up in concentration camps, development and use of weapons of mass destruction, and the greatest manifestation of insanity: war.”

This is one more reason why I believe an evolutionary process will work better than a revolutionary action. We need a new kind of society to grow slowly, in the cracks, getting stronger and stronger until, 100 years from now, it has its own protection agencies and governments cannot simply come and clobber it.
