Drunk Thoughts

I'm kind just devil's advocating the idea to point out what I think is your oversimplification of the issue.

Otherwise we literally wouldn’t have functioned as a society before laws came into effect.

Violence and the threat of it decides who gets to do what, for the entirety of human history. Sure you can have a group that isn't violent within themselves, but if another group wants what they have then violence decides the outcome. Maybe if you're living in a low population era in the deep past you can get by mostly avoiding other groups, because it's a big world and you can always move somewhere else if some bad guys show up. But once the population gets big enough that you need to compete for resources, violence will always decide the outcome.

Slab City exists because its a shithole and nobody cares that there are people living there. If it had anything at all of worth then it wouldn't be allowed to exist as an anarchy. And I assume the people there couldn't surivive without the whole apparatus of the rest of society (which functions under laws) supporting them; building their RVs and supplying food, etc.

I get the sentiment, especially under the current political landscape. But humans are violent creatures, the entirety of human history is defined by violence. If you want to continute living your very comfortable life (by the standards of human history) then you shouldn't be so quick to disparage the system that provides it.
