    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.

          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)
