"Without the State, what would prevent Al Capone from forcing you to pay a fee in order to not go to a prisonhouse?" is a typical expression of the Hobbesian myth. The Hobbesian posits that in a state of decentralized law enforcement, i.e. anarchy, lawlessness, chaos and despotism will ensue. In this subreddit, we debunk this myth and explain how decentralized law enforcement is in fact preferable to subjugation to a monopolistic sovereign standing above The Law.
