So recently the Trump administration has stated that they will crack down on recreational marijuana and wage a "ruthless drug war" as Trump put it. For any libertarian or anarchist, this should be horrific news. The war against drugs (I mean the war against citizens and sick people) has cost our country billions, has ruined millions of innocent lives, and treats sick people as criminals to be used for profit in the prison system. The war on drugs is outrageous and is not something that we should tolerate as a country. So the guy that many of us here voted for is now amping up this horrific war against the American people. I voted for Trump because I saw him as better than Hillary but his mistakes should not be ignored. Otherwise, we are just as biased as the mainstream media.

No, I haven't.

I've been thinking along the same lines as the OP. While anarchy would be great, I don't think it's really possible. If you don't have a military then you're basically at the mercy of other countries. If Russia decides that it wants our resources then our country would pretty much be up for the taking. If our government suddenly disappeared then the power void would quickly be filled by another government(s). It might even spark a world war. Another problem I see with anarchy is that the majority of the population isn't very intelligent or idealistic. Most people in the world are followers. A small majority are leaders. Those followers will always look for a leader and there will always be leaders that are happy to take the job.
