I'm a huge fan of the minarchist city-state myself.

Re: AC and power
 

This is one of the things that I do not understand about many of the socialists here. Many (maybe even most) claim that they want a society that resembles city-states: decentralized communities with a lot of collective ownership within them. What doesn't make sense to me is why there is so much support from these people for big (federal) programs rather than opposition to them, and support for similar programs on local levels instead.

The reason governments are so inefficient is because they do not have to compete for tax payers. "love it or leave it" is a common arguement used against ACists and Id love it if governments actually had to face this pressure.

If we had a confederacy or a weaker federal government then you'd have 50 state governments to choose from and they could "compete" for your citizenship.

unfortunately everyone's favorite president didn't like this idea...
