Well, what else is the state if not a group of criminals who, through use of violence, coerce people into accepting their authority and following their rules (which in most cases don't protect the interest of the people, only the interest of the state)? It's a pretty libertarian/voluntarist view. There is nothing childish about it.

I listed the state as an example because the state is seemingly the only entity which tries to outlaw voluntary peaceful exchanges. There is a term for practice of peaceful human action that for some weird reason is disallowed by the state [1]
