Wouldn't it be better to have freedom for 100 years and then have it POSSIBLY "become government" than to just keep the crappy government we have now?

The human race began with no governments, and yet governments exist. Clearly they provide some advantage. I suspect that a large part of that advantage was the ability to force other, less organized people to become second class citizens within your own society. And if someone waved a magic wand and erased all national allegiances... well, that'd still be true.

So my answer is "no". I don't want to imply that the world's current political situation is a peaceful equilibrium, because it isn't. But my opinion is that if we were to start again from scratch, we'd wind up with a situation that was not really any better or worse, and yet a great deal of blood would be shed along the way.
