Because some of us have a fucking ounce of compassion for our fellow human beings, and aren't worthless pieces of shit who think it should be the hunger games out there.

Bolded mine. You are pants-on-head levels of delusional, kid. Just off the top of my head, the US highway system comes to mind, since I use it pretty much every day. It wasn't the politicians who built that. They just took credit for it. It takes countless people working for their own gain to build that.

I have yet to find an anarchist who prefaces their dreams of a government-free future with "I won't survive, but it'll be great for those that can and do."
OFC politicians don't lay asphalt. Probably wouldn't want them to. I wouldn't trust a single rep in our government with the keys to a pavement miller. They do, however, organize and oversea the resources and labor requirements. They set the standards by which the road will be built, they provide the framework upon which it will be maintained.

The fucking national highway system would not exist without a concerted effort from state and federal governments you unbelievable ignoramus. You seriously mean to tell me that you don't consider it an accomplishment of government unless each politician is swinging hammers and pouring concrete? That logic doesn't work for private entities either - if a corporation builds a road.. well that's not the corporation who built that, they just took credit for it! The CEOs and analysts and accountants weren't the ones actually working on the road.

Hey numbskull! Without the federal government there wouldn't b ea fucking road system. Yes, people built that. Guess the fuck why? BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT GOT THEM TO DO IT. In anarchy that shit does NOT get done.

Why do you think that's the case? The government isn't forcing people to make pencils, yet obviously they do get made. Why would the roads be any different?

Well, they at least organized it. The politicians don't do that. They just pay the police to steal our money by the taxation, then hire the experts to organize building a road and do all the work for them with the money they stole from us, and then they take credit for it.

A cynical view of how it gets done, but we'll call that an example of government getting something done. So, how will anarchists go about organizing the appropriation of required resources, and their subsequent dispensation?

I honestly don't understand the question. Most of the roads in Croatia, for example, are built by the private companies. Why would you need a government for that?

Ahh yes, WAH WAH WAH, whiny little bitch hates paying taxes because he's got it on easy street and doesn't have fucking struggle. Guess the fuck what, cupcake? Your life is only so easy because of the government you hate so much.
Want Anarchy? Go find a fucking Island, and live there. No government. No taxes. Just your ideal life where you don't have to drive on roads maintained by the government, the people you deal with won't be educated by the public school system, and you won't get weather reports from the national weather service. Nor will you have to deal with the pesky FDA, or the pesky minimum wage laws that give people the right to a fair wage. I mean you love anarchy so much? Why the fuck not go live on an island? Surely it's fantastic, so everyone will come with you.
