All of government spending is waste. ALL OF IT. Even the spending on the military or "border security" or anything else you think might be justified.
I can run a country without spending any money and without collecting taxes. It's actually very easy.
* Teach the people how to govern themselves.
* encourage them to do it.
IE, regarding the border issue: If the drug gangs are causing a problem, go get your friends and a lot of guns and ammo and ride down to Mexico and exterminate them. If the Mexican military gets in your way, exterminate them as well.
Regarding crime and justice: If someone commits a crime, and you care about that, do something about it. If you don't care about it, leave it alone. Let the vigilantes do their thing. And make sure you are never a victim.
The grift of government is more sinister than people realize. The government allows people to transfer responsibility for their condition to someone else. For instance, they might say "Oh, I don't have to fight that war, the military will do it for me". This idea is insidious because (1) you fail to do what needs to be done, so it is not done, and (2) you allow people to deceive you.
That's all there is to it.
Look at the original structure of the constitution and our nation. Look at how we fought and won the Mexican War. It was really easy: Declare war, and then let the southerners who wanted more land go crazy on the mexicans. The war was ended when the mexicans begged the US government to please call off the crazy rednecks.

This is literally how anarcho-communists think the world would work. No, seriously, *literally*. "Teach them how to govern themselves" is achieved through the Communist Manifesto. Marx said that the final act of a socialist government would be to abolish itself and after that, true communism would be achieved.
>go get your friends and a lot of guns and ammo and ride down to Mexico and exterminate them.
Everybody will always leave everything to "somebody else" to solve. That's basically the core of most of our problems today.
Go to anywhere conservatives chatter and they will say shit like 'SOMEONE PRIMARY THIS POLITICIAN'. They never say '***I*** WILL PRIMARY THIS POLITICIAN'. This place isn't any different. Everyone here wants to bitch about the government, zero people here actually engaging anything productive to fix it. It's just a complaining game propped up by hopes that 'some day, somebody might do something'.
Not everything a communist says is wrong. The core argument of "letting people run themselves" isn't wrong. Their idea on how to get there is retarded and evil, though.
And yes, whining about every perceived injustice hoping some external force will remedy it is one of those things that makes communism evil.
RE anarchism -- the key is "govern themselves". You CAN have anarchy, but it requires people take responsibility for their own actions and their own property etc... A true "anarchist" society would have a whole lot of "archy". That's why "anarchy" is a ridiculous idea. The question isn't whether we should have someone governing us, the question is WHO should govern us, and my answer is "Take that for yourself, and let no one else have it!" It is, curiously, the same answer anyone else who has ever studied politics or history realizes.

Speak for yourself buddy

Who said gangs are morally wrong?
