That just creates a power vacuum that corporate techno-feudalists (or violence specialists) fill in.

It's not a solution to anything.

For example of powerless governments - look at literally any war-torn African country and their standard of living.

If you’re interested, see my response to a sibling comment of yours for a more complete description of my mindset.

Specific to this, though: there’s a big difference between a stateless society and a failed state. You’re describing failed states.

I also very much agree with you about the result of a power vacuum. I argue that a power vacuums exist not because of the absence of a state, but because of the absence of a state where the populace expects and relies on a state to be.

I didn’t say we should get rid of it all tomorrow morning :)
