Sterlin...I think we agree on most points...the only real difference is I look at the Government as a 'tool'...a construct used by the State in order to subjugate the Will of the People...Even Communism has a State...Leninism had the Politburo...an Oligarchy that takes according to 'ability' of the People & gives according to NOT 'need' but 'worth'...and WHO determines that 'worth'?...The Party...Government is a bureaucratic structure used for services...police...fire...infrastructure...I believe that with Anarchy this government is powered by volunteers paid by the People directly...wealth is just a conveyance for transfer...everybody serves the Anarchy in what they have trained & educated themselves to do...Government is a transitory vehicle to eventually be eliminated once everyone knows their own job in society...

Government is the tool that, by the violation of the rights of others, "provides" "services".
Government only exists by means of the violation of the rights of others.
Yes; it's a point worth repeating. I usually do so at least once everyday if I'm online at all.
It's not "even" communism; it's communism. Communism is the control of everything, the ownership of everything, by the State. Anarchy and government are mutually exclusive. Either people are systematically free and respectful of the rights of others, or systematically enslaved. Government does not work by volunteerism. It is always force. If it is not force - if it is voluntary - it is not government. Government and anarchy are mutually exclusive. No, repeating it won't make it true or false, but repeating the truth when most people have spent at least 12 years hearing utter, complete, and thorough bullshit, it takes a while for the truth to reinvigorate in the minds of those who are indoctrinated. The Communist ideal is the State as a transitionary tool, and it's a utopian dream, because you cannot get to freedom by means of slavery, by means of being owned by other people, by means of having a ruler. The transition period is people watching the active destroy and decay of humanity and the earth... and going, "Holy shit that's stupid." And realizing the only way forward is true freedom:
Anarchy - the lack of rulers. Also known as the consistent application of rules in society, with no exceptions (like the police). None are above and beyond the rules of society, as gods to men. This is also known as freedom. Or sovereignty.
Strange thing is... you can buy stuff rather than having stuff being taken from you by a ruler and then them buying stuff for you after they take their "cut"... I know, strange idea. That your effort is yours and you can actually use your own effort to get your own stuff. You know, the concept that you own your labor and can decide how and where it will go. Strange shit, yeah? It's like we're on shrooms.
