I hope we are not taking my words to extremes (as people often do, which is unfortunate).
I never support anarchism, and reject anarchism as a way of life or society. I do absolutely believe heavily in marketism/customerism forces being the solution of a lot of things, more than "typical" Democrats or Republicans. But that said, marketism/customerism cannot be the solution to **everything**. Again I ask that you all refrain from taking my words to extremes - this is the kind of climate we live in today and that's unfortunate. Unlike anarchists, I am keenly aware that there are certainly some things the government does better (I outlined earlier what I believe should be in government, and privatize the rest).
