Across the world, we see differences in resources and geographical advantages. As long as those differences exist and as long as people in a less advantaged part of the world have to obtain gains from a better part of the world, but can not use ordinary exchange to obtain it...there will be war.

Getting rid of government to achieve peace proposes a solution that ignores the problem. Only when all people stop utilizing coercive methods (from the spectrum of force to fraud) to take from others what isn't theirs will we have world peace.

no. State is not a problem. Or I should say, it is only a small part of a problem.

I see them as reversed. I think learning and spreading a philosophy of peaceful interaction is the best means to getting rid of government.
