I somewhat agree this is often the case, but generalising and saying "no force full stop" turns it into an utopian anarchy which exists only in fools' dreams.

If there isn't someone entitled to the use of force to mantain order, someone else will just decide to use force to his own advantage: this is anarchy.

So, unless you plan to become a Warlord in a world controlled solely by Warlords (in that case please let me know and I'll consider moving into your territory if that happens), you should aim to fix the government, not just to bash it.

Imagine a world where everyone is armed with individual technology which thwarts force. Then we don't need the government to protect us from warlords.

Welcome to the Knowledge Age.

Like, personal force-fields, both wearable and protecting your valuables?
Well, this is SciFi.
I love SciFi, mind.
Now, back to the present...

When the valuables (capital) are your Knowledge and digital assets, no one needs to know who or where they are.

(the SOBs will lose this cycle, and that is why they will need a 666 implant to track our Knowledge and thoughts on the next cycle)

Tangible things are like so totally yesterday. They are declining asymptotically to a cost of 0. Get with the paradigm.

Economy of Knowledge

Since recorded history began, the knowledge production share of the economy is inexorably increasing, which is why the cost (i.e. relative value) of hard resources has inexorably declined over the centuries (see the chart). Iron was a precious metal 323 B.C..
