      It doesn't matter to me what kind of system it is, as long as it does it effectively. If it's a private "Anti-Nuclear Weapons Corp" institution, great. If it's the US government, fine. What I do know is that we only have one of those available to us right now, so immediately arguing for "ANW Corp" seems irrelevant.

      What do you think of gun control and hammer control?
      Hammer control is absurd, gun control is often ineffective and unethical.

      I dig this guy's videos on gun control:

      You just straight up admitted that you are not really an anarchist. I think we can move on now.

      Please read my posts in the context of the point I was trying to get across. I very clearly previously said:

      I see no reason why the state MUST exist to maintain a maximally free society[.]

      But I am not certain in that. I very clearly express my uncertainty, as one should, and reiterate my position of being pro-liberty before anti-state.

      If one must exist to maintain that freedom, then I will obviously change my mind and dump anarchism wholesale.

      I think my posts are being written clearly so if you could spend a little more time trying to understand what I'm saying, this discussion will go more smoothly. I'd rather not have to repeat myself because you took a single snippet of my post and took it for the whole thing.
