What prevents a repeat of the Articles of Confederation? It was supposed to be exactly this kind of setup, but the federal government didn't have any authority to enforce the states providing funds, and the states tried to avoid their responsibilities so someone else would pay for it. This resulted in the federal army not having the funds it needed to do its job. And once the federal government got the power to ensure it could fund itself, it has bit by bit expanded until it completely dominates the states. How do anarchists propose to ensure the central military force is able to, at the same time, ensure cooperation by its members, and also can not come to dominate them?
