Now, here we have basis for a long discussion. Even if people acted in their rational self-interest, there is still a need for Government.
Yeah your right, there may be innocent property disputes where neither side is at fault. So, yes a Government needs to exist.

That is one of the methods that the U.S. Government uses today. It is not looting someone's property. It is certainly 'nicer' than government regulations, laws, and penalities.
So threatening someone with jail time if you don't pay them isn't looting? Oh your right, it's extortion.
