Bringing up topics like aggression or morality actually does more to hurt, rather than help, our cause. For some rather extensive evidence that people do not understand how the invisible hand works check out my blog entry on the subject... http://pragmatarianism.blogspot.com/2012/01/unglamorous-but-important-things.html A picture is worth a 1000 words so it would be awesome if you could doodle this obstacle out of our way.

The problem with anarchism, if you adhere to the etymological origin of the term is, It's just as impossible as 100% control. Sooner or later, someone is going to be an F-tard and use force to make others do what he wants and he'll have the ability to do so because he has superior force. That's why I believe the solution is simply to push hard for a minimal government in place to protect against uninitiated force. Funding could be voluntary however. Also like L. Neil Smith's idea (probably not his original) of self-representation in a democracy with the ability to assign an agent via proxy to represent one's self in this minarchy. governance exists on a sliding scale with anarchism being zero and 100% control (way beyond even communism) being 100.
