Three varieties of paranoia
1) "I would rely on my neighbors to help protect me from the State."
2) "I would rely on the State to help protect me from my neighbors."
3) "I genuinely would rely on no one, anywhere, ever. I rely on myself alone, and stand at every moment in a fighting stance, primed to protect myself with maximum savagery from attack from Everybody, at every moment, from any direction."
Hopefully someday soon, all persons in all three of the above categories will have their own planet to live on alone, together.
