>A government is the means of placing the retaliatory use of physical force under objective control—i.e., under objectively defined laws. Who writes and enforces these laws and what happens if someone were to disagree about their "objectivity" and refuse to obey them? >A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man’s self-defense, and, as such, may resort to force only against those who start the use of force. Who actually pays for the services of the policeman? And can one withhold any monetary support for this policeman's "protection" if they don't want or need it? Can one peacefully refuse to recognize the policeman's declared jurisdiction?
