A "free market" that accepts violence as the means of competition isn't free, or a market.

Call it an evolutionary soup then.  Just like slow gazelles get eaten by jaguars and thus gazelles are evolved for speed, non-state societies fell apart or were conquered and modern societies evolved for security and stability.  Even if you don't like it, that's how evolution works.  A gazelle does not get to say to a jaguar "No violence please" does it?

Nope, but they do have some nasty horns... And I thought we were discussing drunk driving? If you'd like to have a discussion about whether we should model our societies on the law of the jungle or laws of man, you can start a new thread, or move the discussion over to this one, but we're far off-topic here.
