@TylerAbeoJordan @freepatriot No. That is a very spoiled western idea, warlords in practice are not a pretty thing at all, spend sometime in Africa and then tell me how much you want warlords. The only answer is small government held in check by the people. It's not just warlords, if you have something I want, I will take it unless you can defend it. You might be able to defend against me or a small group but all I have to do is tell the masses you have stuff of and you will be overwhelmed...

"The only answer is small government held in check by the people."
Sure - IF the government is LOCAL.
How are you going to get a population of people who FOLLOW to keep a distant national government in check ... it's NEVER worked.
Your conception of government is like the socialists who keep saying "if we just tweak this one thing, it'll all work out right ... next time".
Anarchy is what happens all the time. States come and go. Anarchy is permanent.
Everything people add to it is just an extra, like how AnCap adds an economic system on top, AnCom adds soycial justice and environMENTALism on top, CryptAn adds the digital space, free speech, anonymity, and privacy, AnFem adds what AnCaps already add + feminism, AnPrim adds Amnish culture (or even more premitive), and so on.
But people who watch television all the time, or go on vacation to Africa for a few days for that matter, see Antifa and Burn Loot Murder, and think that that's anarchy.
In reality, these 2 are the exact opposite of that, considering they're working for the state, the state provides them the tools they need to do what they want to do, and so on.

"spend sometime in Africa and then tell me how much you want warlords."
This is ludicrous ... There are CURRENTLY warlords.
They are everywhere, not just in Africa - wake up dude.
There are gangs everywhere, there are cop-thugs everywhere. They all serve the coercive interests of their "leaders".
What you do is build community and separate yourself from the idiots in society as much as possible.
Being afraid to take risks doesn't work as it builds up.
