My point is that humans will make human mistakes and have human desires.

Oh, indeed. But I ask you this: What is the difference between the Mafia and the Government?

Nothing.

Well, no, not exactly. One has a flag.

No need to be smug. I'm not set in my stance or just wanting to argue, I'm trying to form an opinion.

Oops. Dry humor fail. Sorry. I was trying to make a joke. Smiley

Now, what is the difference between the Mafia, and Coca-Cola?

Nothing as well.
On the contrary, the difference between the Mafia and Coca-Cola is that Coke provides its product on the open market, without using violence to defend it's turf against Pepsi, and if it did, people would quickly stop buying Coke.

My contention is that advocating AnarchoCapitalism might just be the frustration of being unable to mount a revolution, because the U.S. Gov't is TOO rich and TOO powerful and TOO evil a company.

No, My advocacy of agorism is because I know the US government to be too rich and too powerful for revolution to work, and because I know that no violent revolution has ever succeeded in creating lasting freedom. AnCap is just the system I advocate to replace the coercion and violence of government.
