True OTOH, without the state, you have anarchy, which is inevitably and quickly filled by warlords or criminal gangs controlling whatever geographic and/or economic territory they can. The security situation in relation tho them is even less good, and you don't get nearly as much good infrastructure. So, it's important to keep in mind the broader context and what really is a lesser of evils. Unless, of course, you can point me to the magical stable stateless advanced society where I can go live... (srsly, it'd be great)
