    That second definition is really weird. An organization on the basis of voluntary cooperation is a government.

    Really this just highlights the absurdity of anarchy. It’s more of a libertarian myth than anything else.

      Dictatorships are a form of government that isn’t based on voluntary cooperation. In fact almost no government has 100% support of it’s citizens. That’s why we have things like the police and military. You’ve just shown you don’t see any of the threats or violence involved in state craft, or are pretending not to.

      What kind of libertarian are you talking about specifically? The word has become very muddied and represents very different groups and ideologies.
