Anarchism is more of a complaint than a solution.

[fisharmor]

Most people who are against anarchy have NO FUCKING IDEA WHAT IT IS.

And the remaining 10% would be out of work.

Which came first - anarchy or the state? Explain what then happened.

We have no idea for the "truth" has been propagated by the "winners" of war.

But the problem is that if you shrink the state too much, another more powerful group will emerge.

But will that group have a pseudo "Moral Authority"? Probably not, the "faith" in government is noting but misplaced religious faith, people are doing what they are told because of their belief in authority. A non "Moral" group rising and coming to the same power as our current gov is very unlikely and if it did, without moral authority it would be much easier to rally opposition to our cause.

Anarchist: "Lets go overthrow the government
Idiot: OMG muh roads and other things

Anarchist: "lets go overthrow that mafia that is taking power"
Idiot: lock and load

Where?

And if my neighbor comes after me I can take care of him- not so with gov.

Detroit? Somalia?

What if your neighbor teams up with a 100 other neighbors and they have military weapons?

What if your neighbor buys off 435 congressmen and they have authority to use the most powerful military weapons in the world against you? (see what I did there?)

Well technically they'd only need to buy up (435 / 2) + 1 lol

Depends on the action they want to take. Some things they can just pass in committees and whatnot. There aren't many things that require unanimous vote, but it would be handy to have everyone bought off.

That's what the state is.

It's wrong.

So essentially your argument is that since there are murderers and thieves in the world, and since they can band together for immoral purposes, that we must elect a bigger, badder group of murdering thieves to protect us from our possible murders and theft of property?

Anarchy came first.

Then a group of people conquered another group of people and enslaved them, thus creating the first state.

One, Detroit is the manifestation of failed policies much like the ones you advocate (the degree of socialization being the varying destined to fail factor) and two, what do you know of Somalia?

Why is not wanting a ruler just a complaint? Most of human history, no rulers.

How did you reach that conclusion? Let me guess, you're going way beyond recorded history.

Technically you're right.
Without the state there's no need to have official mouthpieces who whitewash despicable official actions and make them officially acceptable.

There's a reason why we know practically everything the Romans did, while we know very little about Germans, Celts, or Gauls of the time.

History is tied to the state.
