I did not claim to endorse anarchism. The extent that government can be injected into society is limited by the cost of doing so. If government is everywhere (like it pretty much is or is expanding towards) then it will consume pretty much everything. If you want to preserve "vital" functions of government, then you need to establish what those are and scrape off anything that is both an expense, and interfering with society.
