Reply To: Why do anarchist movements have leaders?

I have a friend who once said that he supported anarchism on condition that he be the Anarch. In any case, anarchism only seeks to eliminate the state. It does not necessarily eliminate other forms of authority. For example, anarcho-capitalists like Murray Rothbard think that insurance companies can do the job of protecting people from crime and volunteer militias from foreign invasions (of course, if there would be no states at all the latter would be irrelevant).
