Yes that right if you object to totalitarianism, so you must support anarchy.

Move to North Korea.

I want the government to do things and I also want to have freedoms. Therefore, i won't move to PRK.

You think think people with money and power shouldn't have to answer to anyone, least of all some puny "government" by the "people". I think you'd fit pretty well in China, actually. There, at least there's no illusion that the air you breathe and things you use are provided at the whims of large businesses.

Yes because there is only totalitarianism and anarchism..... Only black and white. Oh and N Korea isn't N. Korea, I think you are confused.

"Comrade"?

That's another poster offering his or her own opinion.

Why are you thinking "absolutely" by lumping everybody together?

If you don't like what that poster wrote then tell him or her...leave me out of it.

Can anyone point to who created this stupid meme?

I can't imagine a less intelligent argument, so it has to have originated with academia somewhere...

A lot of "progressives" use the cynical example of Somalia because they don't understand the conservative notion of "rule of law" or "property rights".

A lot of progressives equate "libertarianism" with "anarchy".

...shows a lack of education.

Doesn't seem that lack of an education is the issue. Though one could debate the definition of "education". Seems to be more of a perspective choice.

Read article 1 section 8 that is what the governments list of task that are assigned to the federal government.

Did I ever say that?

The government answers to its people, not the other way around.

That`s right, you don't want the government running you life, you are shill for big businesses, lol. have fun living in Chicago.
