And under what authority or with what force can you or I accomplish such a herculean goal? The inmates run the asylum, brother.
I know it gets tiresome for you folks to hear us anarchists go on and on about no government but it's basic psychology. Think of your kids or young relatives...if you have/had either. You play a pretend game with them where you place authority in their decisions and go along with their fantasy. I use my one young nephew as an example as he likes to play Batman and Superman. At some point I have to shut the game down (exercise authority) because we can't jump off the roof and fly or do some other daring stunt.
Now the kid is 7 and he puts up a fight for a bit but I obviously don't give in cuz...well...I'd be dead.
You play pretend by having a government, with full authority, and expect them to listen to you? I mean...damn guys. That's the height of naivete. They have your money. They have a monopoly of force. You've already clearly illustrated that you accept their claim on your life as higher than your own. They have no reason or incentive to listen to you.
None.
Zero.
Zilch.
I can outsmart a 7-year-old (though it's tougher now than when he was younger) but to think I'm going to be able to win the pretend game with the beast who has all the money and force at his disposal is just absurd.
Don't play the game!!!
So, since you anarchists will never accomplish your goal, I assume you just go along with the program without complaint?

We don't have a "goal".
We aren't "ends" people. Statists are.
We are "means" people (principled).
There is no moral and/or logical justification for the paradigm of the State. Convenience and acceptance of collateral damage isn't an option. That's all we are saying. I'm not happy about the fact that a human's default setting is poverty either but I don't run this show. God, Buddha, Bugs Bunny, science...take your pick...does. The only thing I know is that the paradigm of the State doesn't run it. That's for damn sure.

The easiest thing in the world to do is just sit around and say: "the government sucks, taxes are theft, everyone is stupid except me, I have all the answers."
And then provide no answers..other than make taxes illegal and abolish government. I could get those answers form a five year old. They will also tell me that Cocoa Puffs are good for you.

Cons only care about fiscal responsibility when a Dem is in office.
There used to be a genuine philosophical difference here. But it is like the parties did a flip. But the GOP eventually got on board with deficit increases when not in power as a re-election strategy.
