I hate the State

Whooops… don’t tell that to the police of the City of Westminster. I wonder if David Friedman or Lew Rockwell will face travel bans from the Home Office?
That is a genuine warning put out by a police force in the United Kingdom.
For the benefit of readers: I sympathise with the ideals behind Panarchy. Treat government as an industry, and allow there to be competition.

Panarchy is most definitely the winner.
Panarchy
Panarchists believe that all individuals are free to leave or join any government, organisation or legal jurisdiction. Panarchists usually support micro nations. Panarchists can either be socialists, capitalists, collectivists, individualists or libertarians as long governments are free to compete against each other in a non-violent manner. Panarchy is a term first used by Paul Emile de Puydt in 1860. Puydt supports the idea of political rule being sold like a commodity.
The Idea of “Anarchists Without Objectives” came from Fernando Tarrida del Mármol and Ricardo Mella Cea in the 1880s. The goal being that all forms of anarchists should united together in order to defeat authority and no one single ideal of how a society should organise would be enforced. This was a practical approach to bridge the gap between collectivist anarchists and individual anarchists. They believed that the economic system was secondary to a free society.

Anthropologist Robin Dunbar came up with a theory called Dunbars Number. He theorised that depending on the size of a subject’s neocortex, a person could only develop a stable productive relationship with 100-200 other people. I propose 200 as the maximum size a state should possibly be. This way competing feudal, democratic, socialist, religious fundamentalist, free love, environmentalist and individualist states could manage themselves in away their members pleas

The idea of the minimal ‘night-watchman’ government may be a nice concept, but unless it is voluntarily funded I see no hope of a state staying minimal (which was Ayn Rand’s position).
