Yes, and they're going to rape your wife and kill you... And there's no one, or fewer people in the society, that can or will, OR HAVE THE SKILLS and WHEREWITHAL to, resist that marauding. I'm asking a question that separates realists from armchair anarchists who like to 'smoke their opium' and dream of a better world. One they have no hand in actually making.

No offense to the Juans's out there, just saying. No problem. I just explained why it's a mistake to demand explanations =P Problem is, we're not starting from a blank slate. Yes, that is a big problem because people who've been indoctrinated since early childhood have no incentives to learn that what they've been taught is wrong. We have aggressors, carrying guns, extorting money, as our starting point. What's being asked for (and no, I have no easy answers either), is how do we transition whilst minimizing interim aggression. I can't imagine a 'collective' transition. Official 'collective' entities, basically nation-states, are always moving in the opposite direction. I suppose what is needed is a critical mass to set up something like the free NO-state project. And no, neither your nor nobody is obliged to answer that question. There's merely a hope that we might find a sane pathway out of this mess we are collectively in. See above...
