The purpose of Law

So if someone broke into your home and stole your computer, you would not go to the police (the government's strongmen in your view), but go try and take it back yourself. If you were not strong enough to take it back, you don't deserve it? Then go buy another for someone else to take? In a way that might work, as when everyone who wants to take your computer has done so, the next one should be safe.

I never really understood the position of an anarchist any more than Christianity. The system posited by Karl Marx should theoretically end in anarchy, but of course won't. While many, maybe most people are generally good-natured, it only takes one strong one to make a government. At the very instant someone exercises power over someone else (even if only by strength of arms or skill), anarchy becomes government. Thus, anarchy cannot truly be said to exist, any more than any other religion that people aspire to but cannot achieve.

And the strong taking from the weak is government, not anarchy. Government of the strong.
