This is what anarchists SHOULD be doing!

Well you can't go back to tribal warfare due to technological advances. Your envisioned tribal warfare in reality is tyranny by the highest bidder (most likely foreign) that swoops in as our Republic crumbles. Just like the Socialist who 'intends' one thing yet the opposite 'always' happens. With more negative unintended consequences to have to fix on top of the worsened original problem....😉

There is no "our republic."

We have tyrannical warlords now, and the veneer of democracy is only maintained to ensure our delusional belief that we are "part of the system" so we continue to comply. Corporatist collusion under government protection is the tyranny by the highest bidder you hold out as a boogeyman of liberty.

Of course! That's the whole basis of the fight right now. To get the tyrannical warlords (establishment) out of power and replaced with Constitutionalism. In the meantime we are peeling back whatever power we can little by little. It's not going to happen over night but damn. It's a lot more realistic than dissolving our entire government and starting over...

I don't advocate dissolving government. I advocate ignoring it as much as possible and building a free society without permission. The position of power corrupts, no matter how you try to restrain it with "Constitutional protections." And power is not being rolled back by your efforts anyway. It's time to just stop playing the game, because you cannot win. You are outnumbered by people who think they can benefit through political plunder, and special interests who can buy power despite your efforts.

But you don't need government to live in corruption. If we had no government at all there would still be as much (probably more) corruption. That's what I believe anarchists seem not to contemplate enough. We NEED government to PROTECT our rights. That's the whole point of our Republic! I agree with the free society without it for sure but I'm afraid the best we can do is de-corrupting what we can, best we can. We're close to a no return abyss. If we don't get serios enmass then we'll see how muchmore corruption they'll be without our law protecting us. And it won't be anything like the distortion in your cartoon. Our Republic is the bad guy as though we are the righteous wrong and the Indians are the wiser?..lol You sure haven't studied the barbarism of Native Americans have you?

Governmental power magnifies the destructive effects of corruption and rewards it. This is what statists cannot seem to contemplate at all. Further, everything done by government is predicated on trespasses against the rights they claim to protect. Taxation is theft. Government monopolies restrict consumer choice while guaranteeing waste and abuse. Government justice is patently unjust.

There is no "our Republic." We have zero ownership. It's like a slave referring to "our plantation." There is no agent/principal relationship between the citizen and the politician.

I am familiar with a wide range of native societies, and the Cherokee and Iroquois are examples of quite advanced societies. remember, Europe was just more technologically advanced, not more sociologically advanced. Tribal warfare writ large is the result of governments.

Well then you know that in that time and space when America was formed, those same Native American tribes (and the entire World for that matter) were basically terrirorial rapists. Those tribes as brutal and destructive to other tribes as you view our destruction. Why you post cartoons with them looking on as innocent peaceniks while we sacrifice humans? It's very dishonest how you portray things ya know? You could have included them placing decapitated heads on sticks while they question our barbarism...lol

And what 'Republic' or individual rights system or whatever you would call the 'better' way in your view, what possibly could even compare in giving us enough power to keep the elite tyranny at bay? And listing our faults does not equate to rationale proving another way better ya know? It just shows our faults. Your way would produce faults as well. I believe much worse.
