    In what way is anarchism effectively different in 2025 than neoliberalism or libertarianism, the ideologies of the two existing duopoly parties? We ALREADY live in a do nothing state, where private and foreign interests just YOLO across us with no state to advocate for us.

      This is wrong. We have a strong police force. Take squatting for example. The anarchist view would be, if you don’t use a house in any form, it isn’t yours anymore and someone else can take it. The neoliberal police state will force you out of it. The state enforces private and foreign interests. You can’t tell me that ICE is a sign of a do nothing state to take another example.

        This is already effectively a private police force, intended to profit private prison concerns, not benefit the state, ICE more than anything.
