This is definitely true. I'm just stating that even brushing this aside it would be much harder for a criminal enterprise of any kind to exist without the state.
I advocate anarcho-capitalism. The free market can provide legitimate protection and justice better than the state the same way it provides any other service better than the state. The demand for security that would be present in absence of a state would bring about private protection agencies and private arbitration agencies. The competition they would face would cause them to have to provide the best and most just services or be put out of business. The fact that they would have to use their own resources and be responsible for the costs of conflict would cause them to resolve disputes between agencies in the most peaceable ways. This is opposed to the state which is the very type of organize crime syndicate you oppose. The amount of violence and suffering the state has created has been unprecedented in human history due to the fact that it serves as an unchecked coercive monopoly on the use of force within a given territory. As to my profile flag, it is a mixture of the Gadsden flag and the voluntaryist/anarcho-capitalist flag as indicated by the diagonal split of yellow and black. It should also be noted that the reason organized crime syndicates have the type of power they do is because they bribe officials in government who aid and abet them.
