The notion that the State is to be preferred to anarchy (read: statelessness) is the claim that the fox should guard & admnstr the henhouse. We have no reason to think that the design of the fox is to promote the health & welfare of the hens—that it is anything but to devour them
Free hens don't live in houses. Farmers kill more hens than foxes, after life-long enslavement for the females while genociding most males early on.
