I think you were misreading my statement. I was certainly not advocating for anarchy! Quite the opposite. Life was miserable, brutal, and short before the very progressive step was taken to have police, courts, and he rule of law for common people. It is quite ironic to complain that police brutality and court machinery are oppressing the poor when in fact it is precisely those institutions that prot ct what liberties they enjoy.
Let’s not ignore all the ways the court system has succeeded, oftentimes in numerous tiny ways (i.e. cases at the state level that set important precedent and have pretty fair outcomes for the involved parties. C.f. restrictive covenants on deeds. The rulings for my state (Michigan), at least, seem pretty well-reasoned and legally logical.)
