cnk: "If government was eliminated
How should those people previously employed by the government for nefarious purposes be integrated into a society based on the inherent goodness of man and cooperation?"

pickle: "well they already are part of society
would they be successful? I don't know. They wouldn't last long being aggressive and violent"

JeffB: "'They wouldn't last long being aggressive and violent'
You mean like in Baltimore when the police pulled out of violent areas? Or Somalia when the government collapsed?"

So to recap it for you, the question was:

"If government was eliminated ..."?

pickle asserted in his reply that "They wouldn't last long being aggressive and violent"

and I gave counter examples of when governments were eliminated or pulled back and the people were indeed quite aggressive and violent.
