A peaceful State is possible

Without the State there would be no property rights, a defensive State would provide property rights but without the coercion of taxation... this would allow free trade and charities to prosper and crimes to be solved and dealt with according to natural law.

The problem is not that the State exists, it is that it is violent and aggressive. Very often, the State is being aggressive. For example, Government services are aggressive. Aggression is not required to retain property rights.

The Government can be peaceful. It is possible to have a peaceful Government.
