wolfie@lain @cjd While I agree with the idea of “no government”, there is a somewhat natural human tendency among some non-trivial section of the species to try and form such, even if it weren’t strictly needed. It helps them further their goals to dominate and control others.
If this is the case, the best you can hope for is to get there first with as limited an entity as possible and then vigorously defend both the concept and arrangement. In theory, this is/was the purpose of the US Constitution. Regrettably, you can actually see my previous point in action with all the people arguing to ignore one of the central tenants of the Constitution, that it is a set of limited delegated powers with all others denied to the Federal government. I suspect we could power the world just by hooking generators to the no doubt rapidly spinning bodies of the Founders at the way things have turned out.
