My grudge against anarchists

Anarchy is a seriously misrepresented concept. It is generally used to refer to chaos, but that’s not what it means. Anarchy is a society free from government. I try to be open-minded. I can see some value in taking full charge over our own lives.

Even with some understanding of anarchy’s appeal, I don’t believe that this is how society should run. Part of the reason for this is because anarchists have proven the value of government services.

Anarchists tend to protest the government. The problem with this is that the general population suffers more than the government. Police officers may be needed to restore peace. Without government, we have no police.

Government may be intrusive, but they do have some value. The solution to our problems isn’t to eliminate what we actually need. What we should do is eliminate what we don’t need.
