This country is pretty much hopeless at this point as it just keeps getting more and more restrictive.
I've studied just about every political philosophy known to man, it wasn't until I realized Anarchy was the only system that didn't have contradictions. No difference between Statists and Christians, they both believe in an imaginary power.
Trump is the ultimate Authoritarian Statist, I've never seen anything like this man, he must be defeated.

The chief problem with the various franchises of anarchy is that it ascribes to people a nobility of spirit which is far too rare to make the system viable. In any sizable group of people, there will always be a few who feel they know best and will do what is necessary to run things as they see fit. The natural evolution of anarchy is to become (at the very least) an oligarchy.
In political science, this phenomenon is informally referred to as ‘The Septic Tank Model’ - the big chunks float to the top.
There’s also a massive internal contradiction in Anarchism which makes the whole thing self defeating. But having studied, I’m sure you know what it is.

Virtue is in short supply, most people are assholes. I agree.
Small scale voluntarism could work, large scale simply is impossible.
