So true. The superstition of statism always lead to violence because the more uncertain we are of our safety and security ( the 2 reason most people cite as to why we need the state) the more we give it our power. As we grow weak it becomes strong. Like all other complex systems it seeks to empower itself, so the natural trajectory is towards war, and famine.

This doesn't even have to mean the actors in such a system are consciously leaning into these realities They just have to be willing to do their small compartmentalize part in exchange for more personal power themselves.
