But that's what a government is. I thought you were advocating no government?
Let me clarify. I realize that people need government to survive as a whole. This does not mean that people need a state. The two are very different. Yes, the state is a type of government, but not the only type. I think that it would be inapropriate for me to discuss this any further in this thread, but I would be happy to do it in another thread, or privatly through e-mail.

An organized group is not the same as a state. Corporations are not a state, yet they have an orgianzational strcture. I have no problem with voulantary groups.
