This isn't a 'gotcha' game. I'm giving you an opportunity to explain the words you're using, so I can better understand how you have come to an apparently self-refuting conclusion. I'm glad that my assumption was correct that you must be using a words in ways they weren't intended. Are you just posting to 'dunk' on anarchism, or do you want to be understood?

You are a 'statist' then. What functions would a minarchist state perform?

How would a monarchist solve the problem of another monarchist group using violence to impose a patriarchal system on their group?

The pre-colon title is apposite as a quote from an anarchist soldier during a civil war. It was a response to a reporter asking how he felt about winning and "sitting on a pile of ruins."

“You must not forget, we also know how to build. It is we the workers who built these palaces and cities, here in Spain and in America, and everywhere. We, the workers, can build others to take their place, and better ones! We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth, there is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world, here, in our hearts. That world is growing this minute.“
