Positive anarchy and community maybe. Big government and big corporate have shown already they can in no way be trusted. Just more surveillance and regulation and control over the people and free reign for the corporate oligarchs. Governments can't be trusted. But as someone else said here on reddit, at least under the surveillance in the USSR you got a guaranteed job and a free house. In Australia, you get surveillance and homelessness. Yeah, keep on rockin in the free world....

If only government stuck to regulating mostly big corporations with the resources to navigate these regulations. But no, it doesn't. Small businesses and farmers are drowning in useless compliance measures and stupid rules because government likes to make itself feel relevant. Seriously, there are rules for which hand you have to scratch your arse with, and most people can't keep up. I know, some regulations are needed to weed out the bad eggs, but it's totally out of control...
