The arrangement that has been PROVEN over and over to be almost immediately unstable is Anarchy!

Medieval Iceland and the Absence of Government by Thomas Whiston [Posted December 25, 2002] [0] Those who claim that government is the source of social order say that in its absence there would be violence, chaos, and a low standard of living. They cite civil wars in Africa, drug wars in South America, or even Gengis Khan in Mongolia. They claim that these things, which are actually examples of competing governments, are what life without government will produce. Another common objection to stateless legal enforcement systems is to ask for "just one example of where it has worked." Medieval Iceland illustrates an actual and well-documented historical example of how a stateless legal order can work and it provides insights as to how we might create a more just and efficient society today. continued here: http://www.mises.org/fullstory.asp?control=1121 <http://www.mises.org/fullstory.asp?control=1121>
