But a total rejection of earthly Authority is a requirement.

That is not true, that would require you to reject the authority of your parents, earthly authority must be put in its proper place below heavenly authority in a similar manner.

"Nobody can point to a society where nobody steals.

Therefore, saying theft is wrong doesn't work.

Therefore, saying theft is wrong is a bad idea."

See how obviously wrong that argument is?

You need courts, police and military and you need to pay for them. The absence of taxation is an absence of liberty.

Saying taxation is theft just like stealing a TV set is theft is the same argument argument PETA would use. PETA will say taking a life is wrong. So they will equate killing a human and killing a cow or vilify trophy hunters. I get those are arguments people make. The problem is rights only exist to further human life. Taxation is an important part of furthering human life to the extent it used to core functions like courts, police, and military.

And if you disagree. go start your own tax free competing country and see how well that works.

Parents are a spiritual authority.. Ordained by God and NOT man.

All earthly authority is under the prince of this world.
He has NO Authority over me.

I understand this.

If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.…

No,, I don't.

I don't need them at all... they are imposed on me.

As they should be.

If someone aggresses against you, how would you resolve the dispute with courts and police? Or if you run someone over, how will they have recourse against you?

Never really answered by sovereign citizens.

I don't call police.

People call me instead of police.

Where in modern history has anarchism worked well?

Considerations;
-A fairly modest population density of more than 300 persons per sq mi.
-For a period longer than 18 months.

How is that society doing today?

Why did they abandon anarchism?

Replaced it with what?

I have often said that I do not believe that Anarchy can not exist beyond momentary chaos.
As a world system,, it can not exist... The power vacuum would be filled by some manner of Authoritarianism.

It can work as a personal philosophy.. an individual decision not to accept any false authority.

I learned it in a cage.. and carried it with me since.

You can't possibly convince me that you were ever a bird.

There was no such thing as police in Murica till 1838. The concept has its origin in slave patrols. http://time.com/4779112/police-history-origins/ It's foreign to Freemen and abhorrent to liberty.
 
The Amish are the only 'working' group that I can think of that would even come close
to resembling anarchism, living much as they did 300 years ago, I applaud their
commitments to a way of life they believe in.
