adios,

I never claimed that anyone on these board made that explicit claim. Shockingly enough, I have discussed anarchy and government in contexts other than 2+2. And if you think that the proposition "any government at all is better than no government at all" is uncommon amongst the general population's opinions about anarchy, I suggest you go take a survey.

elwood and bobman,

I've already conceded the argument.

Earlier you wrote in part:

But the converse has been the universal claim of all statists I have ever discussed this with; that any government, no matter how tyrranical, is better than anarchy (Hobbes's State of Nature), since anarchy always, supposedly, leads inevitably to the perpetual war of all against all; [censored] homini lupus est; a man is men's wolf.
