Government regulates the environment in which business can thrive and markets flourish. Don't tell me that you think that in the absence of government there would be wonderful roads, civil commerce, and general civility and well being all around.
It would look like Somalia.

It would look like Somalia. ...once the federal troops and police arrived.
But the U.S. forces were thrown out of Somalia by the *warlords* there.

What makes you think that these people are anarchists?
From what I read, they are just against socialist government, just as the mission statement on Free Republic's home page says that Freepers are against socialism.

If the hardcore anarcho capitalist had their way then yes. If minarchist/objectivist got control then there would be a government with the limited functions of running courts paving roads and law enforcement.

Government regulates the environment in which business can thrive and markets flourish. Ah, the false argument of every statist since the begginning of time. Ever hear of laissez-faire capitalism, bub?
