Anarchists believe the means of production (and transportation and
communication and housing, etc.) should be owned and controlled by the
workers themselves. It's better. The other three suck. They are all based
on hierarchy, i.e., a few people having power over the many. . Human
nature being what it is, anyone with power uses it for their own best
interests, not the best interests of the rest of us.

soon thereafter discovered that being homeless and hungry was a crime.
In America, paper sleeps in a palace while people sleep in the streets.
Loitering is a crime. How, pray tell, is this different?

That's great, if you have a family and belong to a church and they take
care of you. Everybody else is out in the cold.
Anarchists ask, why have a system in which a safety net is even needed?
Why not have a system in which everybody prospers. This is a wealthy
planet. The only reason poverty even exists is because power is in the
hands of the few and they use it to hoard.
