You are making claims that I have never stated.
I merely want more freedom and hence less government.
There is no free lunch and I never suggested there would be.
Mankind will still have an element of “evil” in it but this same evil exists regardless of the existence of government or not.
What I am claiming will exist in the absence of government is Liberty.

While I claim the absence of government is chaos, to make my point tell me one country that runs smoothly with no government.

Why do I need to list a country; would not pointing to examples like schools, charities, families, business and industry, etc., be enough evidence to argue that society can function with no government?
After all, pointing to a country would justify the concept of the nation state which I am in fact arguing against.

I would agree that soem things can run better in the private sector , but some things do not. I disagree about schools , I think if parents were to make school abigger priority in life it would be a bigger deal to the kids . If the parents see no advantage of an education ,how can the kids

Most parents do understand the importance of education. They just don’t know how to provide it on a formal level. This is as true now as it was since the beginning of humanity.
Children used to be educated based on what the parents were good at. Now, some other person that doesn’t even know your children gets to decide what’s best for them.
I am a proponent of interest based education wherein the child is educated based on what he or she is interested in. This is very expensive, however, as it requires a more personalized curriculum. I wonder how expensive it would be if there were a free market in education wherein accreditation were also under a free market.
