Tolstoy was an anarcho pacifist. Good for him for not supporting taxation on non consenting people at gunpoint
"Tolstoy’s politics, which combined Christianity, pacifism and anarchism, has always been a source of disquiet to his many biographers"

@shortstories indeed, I do approve of his ideas in being for no government, as well as his understanding of governments being entirely about the use of force (especially in terms of war).
Most likely, we would never see his ideas work in practice, given that on a large scale any society that has no government often has it overtaken someone else willing to enact control. But I can appreciate his principles to the extent that it falls under the "less government" umbrella.
