What do you mean by ‘the state’, exactly?

How do you democratize violence and coercion?

“I regard the endless recurrence to fantasies of “spontaneous order” on the part of anarchists…”

By this do you mean the ‘fantasy’ of the local butcher, green grocer, hairdresser, restaurant, pub and all other forms of non-violent, voluntrary and free-market approaches to co-operation and exchange for mutual advantage?

Could you provide an example of a non-spontaneous order in human relations?
