The question is what do you want government to do? There are non-state/non-corp solutions for every necessary function. Without the need for a profit motive or “progress for progress’s sake” a lot of jobs would not need to even exist or could be automated or done by piloted robots. We don’t need a $1T military if we are not trying to invade the world, active community militias and communally built defenses would make invasion more trouble than it is worth. A good book to read is Murray Bookchin’s Post-Scarcity Anarchism. It builds off Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid and factors in environmentalism and modern technology.
Here is a pdf on the Anarchist Library. Unless you want to be really dogmatic about theory you don’t need to study all of it. I like to read through a book of theory as my weekly book every month or two to better understand other ideas and see if there is anything I could add to my personal philosophy.

Are you saying I should study that book a bit more? Is that book free as a .pdf?

At least it’s better than the Anarchist Cookbook (and that’s full of actual explosive instructions that would get me in trouble with the FBI and such)
