What could replace the State?
"...a general public-services industry producing and administering public community services of all kinds voluntarily and contractually, for-profit, without recourse to taxation."
Adding this book to my reading list:

“Every political government must raise its revenues precisely as it wages wars, overtly by force and covertly by stratagem — by the force of seizure by taxation and by the stratagem of public debt. Thus in history, no political government endures. Its days are finally numbered by the subsistence that it seizes and the lives it destroys.” —Spencer Heath
Anarchy?
Indeed. But anarchy (or anything, even a democratic-republic) without Christ would be chaos.
I guess it depends what form of anarchy we are talking about. I'm talking social anarchy. I think anarchy is usually associated with chaos but actually its foundations are aligned with peace, freedom and removal of injustices in society. I'm not sure its possible entirely but def an avenue worth exploring when current systems seem to be failing many
I believe we are talking about the same kind of anarchy, a society without rulers and coercion, with the "peace, freedom and removal of injustices in society" that you speak of, I just don't think this can be accomplished by secular means. I think it does take a king, i.e., Jesus and His laws.
