I'd have to agree with mic82. One primary reason to have a government is to prevent the spread of dictatorships and organized crime. Both are subsets of justice system, handling "those who harm others."

If you think that people hurt others solely because of nationalism why would shoplifting, or any other form of theft exist?

Anarchy isn't a valid system of government, its the lack of any system at all. I'll have to check out the PDF you linked to to see how they deal with that, because it seems oxymoronic to me to describe a "system of anarchy."
