Pretty sure there are police forces.
- wojt_eu 10y agoI usually hear about villages forming militias rather than hiring professional security. It would be interesting to read examples of primitive governments formed like that.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoIf you count in "hiring" security from within the community, then this would probably describe most governments.
- alienjr 10y agoBut non of them is financed voluntary and non of them was created in voluntary association.
- bsaul 10y agoI think any recently formed countries, created by pionners (Israel come to my mind, and kurdistan may be the next) would contradict your claim.
- alienjr 10y agoMost Palestinians and anti-government Jews in Israel wouldn't agree. Maybe Kurdistan will be the first country in which political elites (backed by populist voting majority) treat all their citizens as subjects and not as objects to achieve their own objectives. I hope so, I don't know much about Kurdistan.
- BurningFrog 10y agoYes, but none of them were formed in a village where people were first martial arts experts, then tried hiring private security guards, and finally realized the wisdom of creating a state with taxation rights to finance a police force.
