But with every system, there are degrees of plunder, death and

merely awful, some bearable.

But I'd say there are degrees of conflict. And ISTM most ordinary people
prefer low level conflict - e.g. debates over whether the speed limit
should be lowered - instead of high level quasi-military attacks over
who should control the profits from addictive drugs.

Some systems of government are more likely to result in low level
conflicts of the first type. Others are more likely to result in the
second type. And it's certainly true that extreme "governing least"
generates more of the latter. Compare, say, England to Haiti. Or
Netherlands to Somalia.

 Regardless of the level of conflict, it's always about control.
