Many people in jail are either there for non-violent crimes, or are there for charges like theft, which would be much less of a problem if there weren't poor, desperate people. Of course people want to be protected, but the problem is that they simultaneously uphold a repressive system yet also make themselves the only people that can come to our help in times of emergencies. They force us to be reliant on them.

The poor and desperate would not disapear without a government. 

 

The increased monopoly that the government has on violence has lead to a much safer,more peacful world. Times existed where the people had the ability to contest the government, they were generally extremely chaotic. Shortly after the French revolution, none of the several groups that tried to take the position of a government had significant control over the population. It was a time of mass murder, kill or be killed.

 

With the rise of automatisation, perhaps, someday, no human government will be needed. But trying to remove the established without a very specific and concise plan in mind will only lead to catastrophe.

I'm not an anarcho-capitalist, I don't just support the elimination of the state. I support the replacement of capitalism with socialism.
