To run any government where "enforcement" and taxation is needed invites corruption. Since slavery was invented, during the advent of agriculture, there has been cruelty, torture, and exploitation, all in the service of government.

True free market cannot be free, because it will immediately turn into feudalism. Freeness must be "enforced" as well as communism, theocracy, monarchy, oligarchy, timarchy, or republic.
