For thousands of years people woke up every day and hoped they wouldn't be murdered, raped, enslaved or otherwise annihilated by their neighbors.
That's because there was anarchy. There were no police, no laws, certainly no rule of law. Their was rule by the powerful over the powerless.
If you didn't like the guy who lived next door to you, you could kill him and enslave his family.
That was anarchy.
Now, thousands of years later, we have so much protection and freedom and it's not enough for a few idiots who want to go back to the chaos of uncertainty brought on by lack of the government.
The most foolish part is the idea that humans are not naturally corrupt or corruptable without force.
To appreciate government, by the way, does not make you a statist. It makes you practical and logical.
