Is there an example -- in the entire history of the planet -- of a government which had no need for secrecy? Sounds cool if it would work.

Secrecy? Those anarchists care about secrecy so they can stop the government from finding about their economic activities.

They don't care about if government have secrets or not, just that the government can't spy on their black market activities.(Which could be anything from selling pets to lawn mowing, and drugs)

If you want technologies, a lot of techno-libertarians are into http://bitcoin.org cryto-currency. For credit and reputation management, some have looked into complementary systems like Ripple.

As far as social system? I prefer free markets and voluntary systems due to my libertarian leaning. However, I don't know if they're effective or have flaws.

All I do know is flaws that exists in the government, especially the democratic system of government, in addition to my ethical dislike about the nature of governments.

Really, in my original reply, I am just pointing out how anarchy hate secrecy is laughable.
