Why exactly? We’re already living in a freer world. We overcame aristocracy, monarchy, and fascism, have established special economic zones, and are already building the first private cities. Anarchism is a relatively new concept, especially anarcho-capitalism. We are increasingly building the tools that make the state more and more obsolete. This begins with things like privatized money (cryptocurrencies) and independent news and media. I’m sure it won’t happen within our lifetime, but we are already on the path toward anarchism, while the concept of the state weakens over time and fewer people will be dependent on government.

I assure you what we have today is not “better”, for any definition of better. In fact if I can remember in my own lifetime I was freer before the internet than after it, this proves times before the industrial revolution were even freer, because of the lack of overarching control structures facilitated by technological means. The problem is belief in “systems utopianism”, same as communism, no system will solve freedom. There is no utopia in this world. We keep getting blinded by ideologies that disregard reality and place themselves as objects of worship. “If only we can all get along”, “if only all things were privately owned by people of goodwill”… it’s naive in that regard, but maybe it’s better to just call it wrong, because the presuppositions are false.

Horses and lancets make for overarching control structures just fine.
