No, that's not human nature that is hierarchical (patriarchical). This is the nature of the citizen, but a citizen is not a human. A citizen is a collectivist. A human lived in a stateless non-patriarchal community, for several hundred thousand years. The last 10'000 years only were the epoche of the citizen, the hierarchist, the collectivist, the idiot.

Beautifully said Smiley And good point in pointing out the difference between human & citizen.

I always thought that collectivism was another word for social nature of humans, individualism being the opposite. If the ancient man hadn't been a collectivist, he would soon have been eaten by predators. I think it is exactly due to collectivism in the first place that we managed to survive as a specie during those wild times...

I suppose he is talking about collectivism from the perspective of G. Edward Griffin as explained here

Given that choice, any sensible person will choose to have police.  Its not hypocrisy - its a sensible way to deal with a real problem.

Given that you already know what choices sensible people would make I fear I have nothing more to say to you.

Again those words, they always give people away. "every sensible person knows, that in the real world, human nature works like xy and thus you need xyz". Yes, of course.
