%X Whilst some defenders of the minimal, limited state or government hold that the state is ˇ°a necessary evil,ˇ± others would consider that this claim that the state is evil concedes too much ground to anarchists. In this article I intend to discuss the views of some who believe that government is a good thing, and their arguments for supporting this position. My main conclusions will be that, in each case, the proponents of a minimal state, or ˇ°minarchy,ˇ± fail to justify as much as what they call government, and so fail to oppose anarchism, or absences of what they call government.
