@Donnybrook10 Look up Max Weber's term monopoly on violence. Leviathan, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes.The one thing that sets a nation state apart from any other institution is the monopoly on the legitimate use of force.By privatizing military operations, we are essentially taking the one thing away from government that sets it apart from any other institution (corporations, schools, churches,etc) So in theory, with privatized military we will see the deterioration of the modern nation state.

@InTheEndIWasRight :Thanks, I appreciate your wording, the distinction between the words "private"and "corporate. The linkage to the state is good, too.Thanks.I appreciate Obama's point.

When people are paid millions to do a job, others pay too much for the job those people are doing. Greed, insecurity, and fear rule the human experience these days so no rational thought can rise into action. We live in a delusional utopia that leaks common sense, a pretentious celebration of mediocrity that fosters depression and inequality. We are a dying species, corrupt and suicidal, closer to a cancer or virus than an intelligent sentient being. Hopefully we will evolve before...

@philbox17 Actually I read books on political theory. I was saying YOUR knowlege of MY ideals are probably not even at wikipedia-level. You are blind to all of the arguements I made. "Government agencies are easily captured by special interests" you ignored that. "Just because you advocate states doesn't mean you get to control their behavior" you ignored that too. Why are governments free from greed?And I never said "power to the rich" so your just being intellectually dishonest and lazy.

@InTheEndIWasRight by State, I mean "État". The public institution supposedly control by the people. You are "United-States". You see the government as an independent entity that rule over the people. I see it as an entity control by the people. In my opinion all States should become independent and the federal should not exist. I live in Québec and I hate the Canadian Federal government. I just don't believe in capitalist anarchy, for me it mean letting the foreign company stole our ressources.
