How is obeying the "agents of the state" part of a strategy to ACTUALLY achieve a stateless society?

This point is so often glossed over, assumed without being proven, a hidden/unquestioned presupposition, much like most people's support for the state itself. Please offer your rational arguments for this if you can, or your perspective/arguments for why this is indeed illegitimate or incompatible with actually living your life to ACHIEVE freedom-- and I'd otherwise like to hear everyone's opinions about this across the board, including collectivist anarchists and pro-statists.

For those who have never heard of anti-statism or individualist (free market) anarchism or voluntaryism:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGMQZEIXBMs (the blind spot disconnect in most people's opposition to violence against the innocent)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykTL-2Ujem8 (the hidden death threat exposed)

In case tagging helps: I tag Stargazer5781 and lifeishowitis as the YouTube anti-statists I'm hopeful will given the most honest and complete answers.

More to come... and for those who may have wondered where I've been over the last 2 years on YouTube, I've been trying to figure out how to achieve a worldwide stateless society within 5-30 years while doing everything I've ever wanted, and simultaneously best facilitating others doing so, because I'd rather live than die, I'm not afraid of the violent, and I'd rather do the best than merely do good.

And many other reasons that would take many more videos to get into! See you again soon-- until then, discuss!

***A brief note on cognitive dissonance: there are only two ways to relieve this form of intellectual tension: one is to change your beliefs to fit your actions, and the other is to change your actions to fit your beliefs. And if you did indeed change your beliefs to fit sound reasoning and empiricism, then the only rational way to resolve the dissonance is with consonant actions-- I can name at least 4 pro-state to anti-state to minarchist YouTubers... can you name any "let's use capitalism to overcome the state!" people? Those are the people I'd MOST be interested in being put in touch with-- with your help, we CAN achieve a worldwide stateless society in our lifetimes-- for what it's worth, you all HAVE rationally convinced me.

  • I want to stay out of the rape cages (jail/prison) and not get murdered by the State thugs, so I can do the good work of spreading the Non-Aggression Principle.

    Peaceful people, following the same strategy, should FRANKLY say to government thugs they deal with, "I am only doing this because you have guns and will shoot me or put me in prison if I don't comply. I am NOT doing this of my own free will." Heck, explain this to your friends and family too (VERY important).

  • There are resources you need to be able to break off from the state and the state essentially has a monopoly on those things like money, public transportation, education, control of the internet, etc so avoiding it is almost impossible. I've heard stories of how the state comes and destroys your life if you do something like refuse to pay taxes etc. So basically it would come down to living submissively until there would be a viable time to live free.

    Nice Ad-Hom, because supporting an extortion racket is SO mature right?

    To answer your question: Small answer right now: No, Long Answer: Yes.

    I would imagine it would emerge the same way atheism/the "liberalization" of churches came about.

    People eventually will stop taking the state seriously and form small societies according to what their preferences are. Now there are strategies on how to make that happen sooner but in no ways is there a set "path" that is followed.

  • You haven't heard any arguments for it because most "anti-statists" know deep inside that their whole political perspective just amounts to male adolescent whining. They are not serious about the practical implications of their philosophy because they just like to build intellectual castles in the air for their youtube subscribers.

    Wake up and live in the real world where you have to get along with humans and their institutions. Christian agape is about real people, not your philosophy.
