    Private interests like monsanto are not interested in small government. They like strong government. They just want to control it is their own interests.

    As you say not sure how realistic it is some one might create private army and take over the country anyway.

    Western countries have strong governments and are not free societies.
    They may be relative free compared to places like Burma but they are not free by standards libertarian.

    Anarcho - Capitalism may be a pipe dream, but I am not sure how viable our present system is in the long run either.

    Do you know what was a free time with little State involvement - the Dark Ages. A time of private armies. I mean some private armies ( IRA, drug pushers) challenge the State anyway, in the absence of the State you would be someone's serf.

    Libertarianism - a road to serfdom.

    If you're poor, yes. That does not bother the libertarians.
