Anarchy is nice but it will never be viewed as anything but a political state to be cured. A Republic with a hard wired Constitution should prevent this problem. Lack of public true education has cost us to lose sight and value of the Constitution. If everyone were as aware as you, the Constitution would only be second to the bible.

Sometimes I wish you were right. However, you neglect the truth of the laws of physics, which cannot be bribed, bamboozled, or blackmailed, and therefore are ever just and true. You alone can will your heavy hand to your weary brow and wipe away the dripping sweat of your hard labor. This authority is vested in you exclusively by virtue of your natural existence, and you cannot sell or transfer that right and authority to anyone or anything. You are ineluctably, inalienably sovereign, and can never be anything else. Property necessarily can be sold and transferred. You cannot be property, not even your own property, because you cannot sell or transfer your will that alone is the authority to act, in any way.
The premise of government, whether of a barbarian warlord or by Republican constitution, is that you must submit to a higher power that is in greater authority over you than you are, and can kill you if you do not obey. Government is inherently unjust, and cannot be made just by words on paper, or by force of arms. It is contrary to the facts of physics, and usurps your natural and sole authority over yourself. This is not just, but the opposite. It is not law, like physics, which cannot be bribed, bamboozled, or blackmailed, but is inordinately susceptible to all three of those vile perversions, and all too often, as we can hardly avoid seeing almost daily.
I know that brutal force is promised me for speaking these words, but they are not less true for it, and I would be a coward if I did not speak them. I will not cower, because that will gain me nothing. I cannot save my life. I am a doomed man, and my death inevitably approaches, so I will not sell the truth for a lie that cowering before brute force will save my life. Though I die for it I will speak the truth, because I will die with it or without it, so it can lose me nothing to defy brutal violence and claim these true words as my own. Parasites, who take what we produce when we together work to create goods and services, claim we are their property because we submit to government. This has been the human condition since the advent of agriculture enabled overlords to parasitize our surplus and support armed gangs of thugs to conquer and control society millennia ago. As technology has advanced through the crude stages of collective industry, productivity has increased, and overlords have taken a fatter cut, until they are more powerful today than they have ever been.
But decentralization of the means of production is the cutting edge of technological advance in every field of production today. Centralized production can offer marginal economies of scale to increase productivity, but it is inherently burdened with parasitic losses, because overlords' profits, costs, and taxes are necessary to support those armed gangs - and their sybaritic luxuries. Today parasitic losses cost we who produce all the goods and services more than half of our production.
Bespoke local production not only avails consumers with products that perfectly meet their needs, rather than cookie cutter crap, but eliminates parasitic losses. When your chicken produces an egg you eat, no one gets a cut. You keep 100% of your productivity, and overlords and their thugs go hungry. When we all do that, they starve or grow their own. Because decentralization more than doubles our productivity, folks that see early adopters doing so learn it can be done and seek themselves to keep what they make, rather than be robbed of it. Did overlords not intervene, government would fall soon by the wayside, unnecessary and unlamented.
But we can be sure that is not what will happen, and we live in these interesting times when traitors claim to rule and commit terrorism against our allies by blowing up Germany's Nordstream pipeline. Must you submit to terrorists? Is it not a vile abomination that not only have terrorists captured the US Government, but first committed treason and seized tyrannical power to collude with powerful corporations to censor Americans, specifically prohibited in that hardwired Republican constitution? Lysander Spooner observed before the Civil War that the Constitution had either been designed to be a lie, or had failed to protect our rights and limit government. It is undeniable by anyone that has the courage to speak the truth that the Constitution has not limited government, nor preserved our rights.
However, this lament is immaterial, and does not change the economic reality that now has arisen, and changes everything. We stand on the precipice of not just complete freedom that independent means avails us, of the ability to produce ourselves every good and service necessary to provide the blessings of civilization, but of access to unlimited resources from which to create wealth at our sole option. Space is infinite, and stretches forever in every direction. No army can follow us, and we will go freely and create inconceivable prosperity we deliver a legacy to our beloved posterity they will enjoy in perpetuity and absolute freedom, where no overlords can leech.
We can argue all you want, but I have said my piece, and prefer to go back to preparing for paradise. I reckon you should too.
In theory, this is all good and fine, but reality has shown us time after time that any constitution is only worth as much as the politicians that enforce it, 99% of whom are absolute garbage. And this stems from the very nature of the system itself, which means this type of system is the enemy of any freedom-loving people.
