So there was no state before the british empire?????I do not think that is correct. quote:
not formally that I am aware of. Just off the top of my head I can think of hundreds of states that existed before the first englishman learned to grunt. Persia,china,japan...the state has existed from the moment we were born. The family,the clan,the tribe,the village,the county,the state,the empire. Collective control of the individual goes back a long way. Back to my question...why do we form ourselves into societies/states? a collective is not necsarily a "State", though it may be a state, a "State" which is the abbreviation for an Estate in so far as bounded land is concerned is a "title" of operating privilege granted by a sovereign overlord. yes we form both states and States. in a nutshell there is power to inflict a collective will by the use of mobism, mafia, (democracies), etc. Do you feel that these mobs have legitimate authority to tell you what medications you can and cant use? How long your grass must be cut? Where does a mob (by whatever name you wish to attach to it), get their legitimate authority over the individual living wo/man not "knowingly", with full disclosure, full consent, annexed to the corporation, to declare themselves overlords and use up to and including lethal force to enforce their collective will upon them? or take away all their stuff and throw them in cages for "disobedience" to mob rules?
