Yeah, but social life often doesn't provide large n's. So you have to supplement it with theory. And theory tells me that states can accomplish things that small bands of individuals, especially those lacking a broader social vision, can't.
I used to find the whole anarchist/autonomist thing very seductive. While I can still understand its emotional appeal, I'm convinced that adhering to it after the age of 30 is like skateboarding after the age of 30.
