I am getting sick and tired of various types of statists using Somalia as some sort of example of how freedom does not work, Somalia is not a free country, if I start a factory in Somalia I might not get taxed by the official government but the local ruling warlord will show up at my factory and demand I pay him tribute in order to keep operating, effectively acting just like a government.
Government is force, a warlord threatening you with bodily harm if you dont do what he says is just like any other form of government official demanding you pay or else bad things happen too you.
