I will never listen to statists, or take them even slightly seriously, until they can get their own collectivist house in order. All their criticisms fall flat and are total failures.
They are the ones who say they have the answers, and anyone who thinks differently is childish. They are the ones who believe a collective has a "right" to run your life, and is smart enough to do so. They are the ones making the claim that a government is necessary to protect your rights.
They've had thousands of years to prove it, but they haven't ever been able to.
Libertarians. Voluntaryists, abolitionists, and anarchists make no such claims.
We don't claim the world will be perfect without government- because we know bad people will always exist.
We just recognize that giving those bad people (and anyone who seeks to govern others is bad) power and imaginary "authority" doesn't ever work out well. The power attracts the worst people, the "authority" lets them get away with their crimes, and if a decent person gets pulled in, they turn bad by association and because of how the system is set up to function.
Statism and political governments are total failures. They always have been and always will be, and until statists can get it right at least once, they can keep their ignorant mouths shut.
