What are the legitimate functions of government?

Your statement of "Could we, as only a group of citizens, coordinate that? " Belittles yourself. To me that shows an example of a personality which only wishes to be led and not to think.

Well then, allow me to mother fucking clarify:

I do not think that 250 million people could agree on any single thing. Furthermore, I do not think they could be split into ten or less solid, defined factions, each with their own choice of contractor and price for, say, building an interstate highway system. Government has a hard enough time with its stupidly slow bueracracy - like we need 250 million fucking people voting on whether or not we do such or such.

To me, it shows nothing about whether or not I wish to be lead or to lead. It shows nothing of whether or not I care to think or not, save the fact that your belief that we could accomplish such feats, without having some central regulation, seems to be based less on thought and more on a silly ideal, whereas mine is derived, rationally, from a solid understanding of human nature. But if you feel you can get 250 million people to agree on something, be my guest.

In the Spanish revolution crime as you stated before such as looting ones neighbours, was not present. The crimes being conduced were by those of the communists and fascists attacking the Anarchists.

First point: If the anarchists had a government that protected them, maybe said crimes would never have happened.

Second: Do you honestly believe that, if the communists and fascists had been removed, there would have been NO CRIME WHATSOEVER?
