It does not - because men will not govern themselves."<br /><br />Well yeah, of course. They all still have the statist-collectivist mindset.<br /><br />There needs to be a solid intellectual revolution for anarchy to work.

It assumes that if we were to rid ourselves of the oppression of a government-gone-wrong-by-trampling-the-Constitution, that a totalitarian state would not follow immediately.

My conclusion, based on decades of observation, is that if everybody thought like I did, the world would have a lot fewer problems.
