Is it possible that the power vacuum argument is created by actions of the state? For example, the state destabilizing Iraq and Syria allowed them to create and fund an inorganic ISIS movement, which people use as an example of a stateless society. However, without government destabilizing a nation and propping up a warring faction, this example wouldn't exist, right?
well, that definately is a part of it. Never-mind that Iraq is a State t hat has or at lest had) a government (never mind (even if it is a very crappy one using the Statist standards) . Furthermore, also Isis wrose to one Government seeking to overthrow another and replace it with anothe government friendly to them. (boy did tha backfire).
Right, but from the position the world is now, we are all seeking to convert from a governed state to a voluntaryist state, so your first premise of Iraq being a state is a moot point, right?
Individual power vacuums are often by design, but none of them happen at all if the people don't believe in ruling classes.
