And who is supposed to fill the power vacuum in this scenario? We already have a government that is essentially a pawn of the corporate oligopoly. The only real power they weild is the ability to arbitrarily bomb anyone on the planet.
Right, I understand the libertarian/anarchist position. I just don't understand how we get to this ideal state. History has not panned out this way. Decreasing government spending on social welfare will get us more privatization and corporate oligarchy. You don't get to just pick the parts of government that you want to get rid of and go from there. I would love to get rid of the US military but it is an entrenched power base. It's just an untenable position in my opinion. What is step 1 of this process?
