re: Why Not Anarchy?

Here is a good way to look at anarchy. Ask yourself "Do we really need govt to do that?"
When I was a kid we all knew that govt was necessary to deliver the mail. Today, we realize we don't need them.
Do we really need govt for defense? Mercenary armies have existed.
We'll never have anarchy but we can test the limits of going without govt. In 1776 our govt had a tiny fraction of the power that it has now. If we had a a time machine and immediately reverted to 1776 limits of govt some would describe it as anarchy.

Mercenary armies can be bought out. Armies loyal to a country are far less likely to be.

There will never be “less government”. It only expands.

And they would be wrong.
