WHY DO WE NEED A STATE? JUSTIFYING COERCION

Abstract

The State is no more than a gag for making harmless this carnivorous animal that is man, and giving him the aspect of an herbivorous creature. Man, internally, is a savage animal, a beast. If that is the case, the State represents a barrier that stops man from harming himself and others. In such a view, the State is a blessing, a savior. When the aim is protecting the people, dictating values, suspending representativeness and intervening into the markets tend to be viable options in order as to accomplish homogeneity and increase security.
