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.

Much better, already. I might have confused you with another individual I was discussing with on this site, who supported full blown anrchy.

 

Anyways, I still maintain the position that no violence of any kind should be tolerated for the propagation of ideals. It goes aginst the democratic principles, and any distinction you could make between acceptable and unacceptable violence would end up being arbitrary. Tyranny of the majority is a legitimate danger of democracy, so we must establish a set of essential rules of ruling that must be applied regardless of context, which need to be supported regardless of your political position. I believe that the universial condemnation of violence between citizens must be among those rules.
