    So here we are at this question. This or that. We can be critical of government for its punishment focused approach to crime, rightfully so, but absent government, does crime disappear? would theft, rape or murder decrease or increase?

    What? I only meant that a different government would produce less crime, and that with the right combination of policies crime could be either vastly reduced or totally eliminated. I’m not an anarchist lol
