"Anarchists love potholes, and when bad things happen because the government failed to stop them."
I would say instead that anarchists love it when the statists are proved wrong, when failing to prevent the harms misguided statists claim the state is necessary to mitigate. I have no love for bad things happening. I don't know anyone that does.
I am glad to be proved right, but not that the bad things that prove me right occur.
