Straw man.

Those societies also existed alongside slavery and tons of other bad shit. So how does that change the value of a functional government?

It's interesting that the Kimberley Process intended to prevent conflict diamonds is a chain of warranties, one of the criticisms thereto was that there was little proof that the previous warranty ever existed.
