The simple fact of the matter is that the more complex life becomes the greater the need for Government. It likely is geometric. For example, 130 years ago the only way to finance the Transcontinential Railroad was for the Federal Government to do such. A good read on the need for the Federal government to act is Stephen E. Ambrose, “Nothing Like It in the World The Men Who Built The Transcontinental Railroad 1863 - 1869" Today, the complex nature of life demands a highly complex government.

You have the Cause and Effect backwards.

All you are saying is that to maintain society as it presently exists, a government is needed.

No anarchist would disagree; it goes without saying that every aspect of our society presupposes the existence of a government.

If it requires coercion and theft to build the railroads, then perhaps we shouldn't have built railroads. Stated differently, if it requires a government to have welfare or social security, then perhaps we shouldn't have welfare or social security.

In short, you are simply saying there is no way to maintain prison society without prison guards; you assume at the outset that the prison society is something that must be saved at any cost.
