Are we reading the same histroy here leo? When has large government ever brought about peace? When has government having an absolute monopoly on Force ever been a good thing? Was it a good thing in nazi germany? Was it a good thing in the soviet union? Um what about cambodia under pol pot, north korea under kim il-sung, the list just goes on.

When has a totalitarian government ever brought about peace? When has government control of all force, ever brought about anything good? If anything government monopoly on force brings about genocide not peace.

Your normally pretty accurate on historical matters but in this case its clear you don't know as much as you think you do.
