Anarchist idiots

With the form of anarchism that I assume you're referring to (anarcho-capitalism), the poor would pretty much be SOL.

However, I personally don't think capitalism could survive without a government that has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force (e.g. police power).

I don't think anyone here would dispute the contention that dismantling government would cause at least temporary chaos. And with no police protection, the days of the 1% would be numbered. Just to survive, they would probably be forced to do what the wealthy did during the Spanish Civil war, give up all their shit and blend in with the peasants (and hope like hell someone doesn't recognize them).

But even right wingers aren't that stupid. They like some parts of government (the police, prisons, intelligence services, the military, etc.). You don't even hear Rand Paul calling for the dissolution of the state.

Anti-state libertarians are actually pretty rare. There's only one sort of prominent thinker that I'm aware of who endorses the idea (Hoppe).

Don't get me wrong, with what's happened to America, ran by two political parties who no longer give even a little fuck about anyone besides themselves (even the shit they do to feign giving a shit turns out to be another scam to help their buddies), I'm surprised Americans haven't whipped out the guillotines ... but the truth is, this is one dumb fucking country full of white trash dip shits, who wouldn't know they're getting fucked even if they had a horse dick up their ass Smile
