It is true that there can be no absolute guarantee that a 
purely market society would not fall prey to organized 
criminality. But this concept is far more workable than the 
truly Utopian idea of a strictly limited government, an idea 
that has never worked historically. And understandably so, 
for the State’s built-in monopoly of aggression and inherent 
absence of free-market checks has enabled it to burst easily 
any bonds that well-meaning people have tried to place upon 
it. Finally, the worst that could possibly happen would be 
for the State to be reestablished. And since the State is 
what we have now, any experimentation with a stateless 
society would have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
