tl;dr on the FAQ: private property creates hierarchy.

What defines government is not hierarchy: it's coercion.

I'd beg to differ. The hierarchy is what enables the coercion to take place, they're two sides of the same coin.

Anyway, I'm sorry, but this comment is 3 pages back in my history, so I probably will forget to come back and check. If you'd like to discuss this further, my email is in my profile.
