Very good points! I especially like the insight that the Constitution itself and its promise of limited government is a racket as no government ever remains a limited one and all services government provides can be rendered by the free market also - and much better and cheaper.

@lucaso345 Nothing vanishes overnight for starters so the scenario is unrealistic. Also could New Zealand defend against either of those countries all by its self with an intact state? I doubt it so it isn't a realistic criticism of anarchy if a state can't do it either. I highly recommend watching: watch?v=V0_Jd_MzGCw, for further info.

Great stuff Jeff!

Fascinating post,really appreciate you putting this information out there. The idea of the police/T.S.A being there to make me feel "secure" is laughable and well stated here. If the "state" vanished overnight and North Korea or Venezuela decided to own New Zealand,s ass how would a stateless society respond.?.. I struggle a bit with this aspect of Anarchism .
