Personally, I believe in freedom and will never loose hope.
I am all for freedom, but not completely unbounded freedom. We need laws against victimization, and we need to enforce those laws. I am a libertarian, and the kind of government I support would in no way make anybody slaves, except criminals who deserve it. We are not going to ever change the fact that there are bad people out there. With that being the case, we have to do things accordingly.

Your perspective reminds me of a meme I saw on Statist Daycare on Facebook, which is one of my favorite pages on there. I'm a minarchist and not an anarchist, but anarchists often do make good points and hilarious comments.

We already have a peaceful lifestyle, I think it would be an unpleasant effort for anyone to ravage the roads.
Things are like that because you have a government. There are other factors too, but you would not have the peace you now have without a government. If your government suddenly broke up one day, things would get really disturbing right away.
