No, actually that's pretty close to the opposite of what I said.

Afaik no country implements anarchy, so your imagined grievances are just that, imagined.

Don't let this be another thread where you make wild claims without any logic, let alone evidence, to back them up. Your logic isn't even non-sequitur, it's non-existent.

How about trying to prove that statism prevents all of "Invasions. Weak or nonexistent social programs. Economic monopolization and exploitation. Child labor. Unsanitary food. Absence of coordinated emergency response. No public education." and that anarchism guarantees them.

Hint: you can't because it's provably false. But I'd like to see you try none the less.

Dat strawman.

What is particular mean hurr hurr I don't know so I'll just ignore it and claim other people are so dumb hurr hurr.
