Which would make it *highly* vulnerable, and depending on it's financers.
Do you think that such a government would do *anything* about the
noise that is bothering Biep's scientist if it was caused by one of
it's biggest sponsors?

First law of Libertaria: It is illegal to murder, rape, steal or cheat,
unless you have enough money to bribe the government.

In my opinion, all articles defending libertarianism fail in one point:

	IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DEFEND THE EXISTENCE OF MONEY
	IN AN EGALITARIAN SOCIETY.

In an Anarchist society, both of the problems above would not
exist. If there is anything that resembles a government, it has
*no* authority whatsoever, and can only *advise* people what to do.

There are no criminals in the legal sense of the word (people who
are *convicted* of a crime). Of course, there will be people who
act unsocially, but they will be simply cast out of their community,
or perhaps even locked up or killed, but this is completely up to
the community in which the "criminal" lives.
