100% agree.

A State is nothing if not a set of monopolies, insiders leveraging each into gaining the next.

Dispute resolution monopoly, policing monopoly, defence monopoly, healthcare monopoly, education monopoly, transport infrastructure monopoly. Religious experience monopoly. Many states lack some of these, no state lacks all.

I believe monopolies CAN (rarely) be constructed ab inito, but they are usually unstable unless and until they coalesce into a State.
