My main issues with anarchism:

1) There is not enough to ensure that my rights are not violated.

2) There isn't a solid argument for anarchism in terms of national defence.

I've tried debating anarchists on the Anarchist Facebook page, and it was really difficult... the main reason being that even the anarchists did not agree, and just ended up arguing amongst themselves. Some anarchists believed that property rights could be protected through various means, whereas other anarchists were opposed to property rights at all. Some anarchists contend that an anarchic system would only work if it was global (in response to the national defence argument), whereas others seemed to believe that anarchism would be enough defence, as an anarchic country would not "ruffle any feathers", so to speak.
