Because those of us that are center-right/right believe in less government. I wouldn't trust the US government with my dogs health, let alone my own.
I just wanna let you know, I'm an American leftist and I have that exact same distrust in government. I don't want less government but rather none of it at all. Unfortunately, before that might become possible, a lot of the policies I advocate for do indeed require more regulations and bureauctats.
Anarchism is impossible, nature abhors a vacuum
I 100% agree but I still appreciate anarchism as a critical position. Not a system to actually implement, but a criticism of the corrupt nature of the current regime.
I'm not an anarchist but I'd miss their perspectives if they weren't around.
