Government isn't actively trying to protect us. It only intervenes when a psychopath has already murdered someone. And then they put him not to a place where he will rehabilitate, but to a place from where he returns with even more psychological problems, which made him murder in the first place. For all we know, they could in fact be making things worse. Justice systems, judges and lawyers, have no interest in bringing peace and justice to the society, they make money by making other people argue with each other. Even if people are naturally violent, the last thing you need is a government. Government is made of people with power, and power corrupts, it doesn't make people better. If politicians really wanted to help the poor, they would give their undeserved money to charity, they certainly wouldn't pass a law that effectively makes it illegal for the poorest to have a job (called minimum wage law). If they really cared about the environment, they would stop subsidizing factory farming, that hurts the environment more than any other industry. They certainly wouldn't pass the emission standards laws that cause monopolies by hurting small corporations more than big ones. Politicians are good only at having long, boring and nonsense discussions. And laws are statements about how society should work made without evidence, and they should be dismissed without evidence. So, why are people so affraid of anarchy?

Because I have taken a good long look at my fellow man and do not like what I see.

For the same reason they're afraid of socialism, or anything that isn't capitalism. Because the people benefiting most from capitalism don't want the common man educated in better forms of governments. Such as democratic socialism, which blends socialism and capitalim into pretty much the best type going on today.

Fixed that for you.

If it were my decision, I would give a whole continent to anarchists and fascists. And then just supply both of them with guns, amno, until we could hear no more gunfire in the civilized world.

I am not afraid of anarchy. Its just plain stupid.

OP, how old are you? I don't think you've thought this thru to well. 

And I'm all for capitalism, and am a "common man".

Ah yes, "capitalism."

So, help me....I WILL have law and order. Goddamnit.

There's enough teenage angst-edge-oversimplification in here to be its own subreddit.

From a guy who is constantly and consistently negative, I'd expect as much.
