That's actually a pretty good argument if there were a more or less constant number of robbers. In a situation where you were definitely going to be robbed - as seems to be the case if you want it to be analogous with government: Would you rather be robbed by a complete drugged out psychopath who'll kill you if you twitch or someone relatively calm who definitely won't kill you if you just hand over the money?
- VladRussian2 13y agonice turn. Drugged out psychopaths can't organize into long functioning multi-layered mafia organizations who would control whole cities and whose extortion activities go well beyond simple robberies of private citizens where is the "nice" guys can and do.
- 6d0debc071 13y agoAre you claiming that evil people are stupid? I'm not sure what the analogous risk is meant to be for governments there - they already seem plenty organised.
