Also you're using the word society but presumably advocating for zero meta-organization within a certain geography. But what happens when the neighboring country expands it's border?

just using society to talk about the group of people. not zero meta-organization (business organization I think is fine). know someone else mentioned how the name could be oxymoronic.

Right! "Group of people" implies there's some value that's joining them together. I don't see how a company and a government are different(unless you do some 1984 newspeak gymnastics).

these are good questions, thanks! having to spend a lot of time thinking about them. letting the question roll around my head for a few days.

I mean the bottom of this conversation is ultimately "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's". If you think you'll ever get out of paying tribute to someone or something you're delusional.

There's gotta be some check on it. I think in an anarchy situation companies can become territorial mafias very easily. So no, you can't necessarily just quit.
