You’re still not seeing it. You are leader of country A, with a pure bitcoin standard. Every transaction is p2p. No raising of tax, therefore no government, is possible.

I am leader of country B. I have fiat money. I print fiat money to raise a military, and invade your country, killing all the men and enslaving the women and children.

Actually you could argue this is what has actually happened. The west has been better at collecting taxes from its people, therefore has had a better army, therefore uses that military strength internationally to its advantage.
