<snip about crypto-anarchists taking a no compromise position>

<sigh> Well, I suppose that if there is anyone who is most opposed to the opinion you expressed in the paragraph above, it is myself.

I believe:

1. Governments will no longer be "necessary," if they ever were.

2. Protection will no longer depend on having a "government."

3. Anonymous networking technology will protect our rights, to the extent they can be protected.

4. Your statement, "...anarchy is a massive step backward..." is absolutely incorrect.

That's fine that you believe the things, but for acceptance by others you will have to provide support for your position. I, personally, would like to see your premises so that I may evualuate your claims. You may indeed be correct in your assessment.
