Mostly good article, but this line is wrong: "Voluntary exchange and free association are the only forces that reliably limit political power, because people who can move, trade, and reorganize their lives retain leverage." The family is THE principle which limits state power, which is why it inevitably grows by the dimunition of the father, the demonization of patriarchy, aka family. Stop fighting with your neighbor is step two. Restore the father is step one.
