What I'm saying is that if we adopt the system of voluntary associations 100%, what will the world look like in 100 years? It will probably look much like what it looks like now: voluntary associations will get larger and larger from entirely natural market forces until they become governments.


I don't see why. In any case though, you aren't making a compelling argument as to why we shouldn't do it. Wouldn't it be better to have freedom for 100 years and then have it POSSIBLY "become government" than to just keep the crappy government we have now?

To a certain extent, I think you're right. I think BOTH sides tend to overestimate the impact that such a change (and ANY political change, for that matter) would really have on the average individual's day to day life. However, I think the advantage mainly will come to the outliers. In a voluntary society, it would be MUCH easier to live "outside the system" if you so desired. Granted, the overwhelming majority of people would not desire, and for them, life would proceed largely as it did before. But for those who really and truly value freedom, the gains would be significant.
