That is what you conceive to be true, but there
is no evidence that it is true.
Humans did not spring into being with large centralized governments.
Are you really telling me that rulers make fights over resources less likely? If so, just pick up a history book. The most anti-social societies tend to be the more authoritarian ones.

And of course people didn't emerge with large, centralized governments. You also weren't born with
what you are experiencing right now. Experience -- even collective experience -- is conditional. But your idea that people are destined to have powerful states is ultimately an argument for your own subordination. It's ultimately an insult to yourself.
