"There has never been a human society of "free sovereign individuals"..."
This is utterly impossible. Today there are men who live beyond the reach of any government, who effect their society themselves, and there always have been such men. Once all men lived so, because government is a technology men have invented to improve society.
As always you offer elitist misconceptions to support your clamor for overlords to rule you, but just as you always do, you neglect that overlords have abused their power to effect the very harms you lay at the feet of their victims.
You completely contradict yourself in your last sentence, as sociopolitical hierarchy is exactly a technology, not some force of nature. Just as are electricians, mechanics, and physicians, overlords are specialists we turn to to provide us services. The danger of trusting specialists is in no industry more apparent than politics. In that field the frauds have completely overturned the industry until it is only a vector for fraud, and no longer can avail us of the services we seek.
Would you turn to an electrician if all they ever did was tell you lies that they would fix your electrical problems and instead electrocute you? Physicians if they promised to cure you and killed instead? Never!
That is the situation today with overlords. The only possible cure for political problems is to end politics, and we are fortunate to live when we can never again need the problems they cause because we can use the technology that has arisen to solve our problems ourselves.
