State

The State or Government is an organization of great interest to left-libertarians, with several different competing meanings, purposes, perspectives and histories.
== Definitions ==
The most common definition of a state used by left-libertarians was given by Max Weber, who argued a state has three main components:
# Centralized bureaucracy
# Monopoly on the use of legitimate violence (ie control of police and military)
# Clearly defined geographic area to use this violence
