If you don't believe that the government has the right to make laws, then that's one argument.
If you don't believe that the government should be allowed to attempt to tackle money laundering, that such crime is simply to be shielded at all cost from being reduced, then that's another.
So the question is "what do you want?".
And the cryptocurrency community has been completely unable to present anything that isn't literal anarchy or feudalism. And guess what, nobody will be able to sell anarchy or feudalism to the general public, or even outside a very very small community.
