Of course no governments means absolutely none of those things listed. There exists no law of physics whatsoever that makes that the case. Sorry, that's the objective reality. Unless you can cite me the law of physics that makes that impossible, the argument has no traction as a statement of scientific fact (which you really are not even asserting... you are basically making sociological based arguments based off of - at best - human tendencies).

Other variations are the red and black flag, orange and black flag, green and black bisected flag, etc... with the color separation also running diagonally down the flag the same way. Red and black is informally taken to be the anarcho-communist and anarcho-syndicalist flag. The green and black flag is informally adopted by "primitivists" and some self described eco/green-anarchists. Then there are others.

Actually, would probably be more helpful to show a list of them. I'll just use the Wiki one, even though it is missing some:

Anarchist symbolism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wow. Who would've thought anarchy was that structured?

Ok, food safety (FDA) is a joke, our food chain is poisoned with chemicals and GMO ingredients. Infrastructure is crumbling as we speak'; water supply is being poisoned with flouridation. We are basically seeing a police state form right in front of our eyes, I don't know much about national defense...but didn't US invade, aren't most of our troops deployed, so how are we protected from invasion ? Political system is totally broken, can it even be fixed ? I don't know...

Yes, a government is necessary...but not a corrupt one. I don't favor Anarcho-Capitalism, however, I do favor the constitution.

Reminds me of a little band I used to listen to when I was 13.
