I’ve been thinking about the first non central government state ever created. The first iteration of the nation of Israel. No king, no prime ministers, no congress. no central government at all. Just a collective moral framework, and Rule of Law. Local magistrates for deciding conflict. Strong property law, total debt forgiveness once every generation. Law enforcement was not outsourced. The people themselves carried out punishment after a fair hearing and decision, in the form of stoning. Sounds barbaric, but lately I’ve been wondering how barbarous it actually was.
