    There we governments before there were guns so eliminating guns cannot stop the formation of governments. Not that guns could be eliminated by any force other than a government.

    There was coercion long before there were guns and money. Coercion cannot be stopped.

    I suspect governments existed before all three: money, coercion and guns.

    The only way to stop the formation of governments would be to stop all cooperation among people. And since much cooperation is beneficial that would be a pretty awful world.

    1)Guns as in the military and police force the state needs coercion. You can have both guns and money and not be coercive. You focus too much on the specifics and not enough on the fact if the state did not have the tools it need to coerce and oppress that they would no longer be able to do so.

    2) Thats total batsh1t balls to the wall lunacy, cooperation is how things occur outside of the coercion of a state. A handful of individuals working together of their own free will does not make a state. In fact in a state there is a complete lack of cooperation everything that appears to be cooperation has been contrived and forced.
