Some U.S. states and municipalities still practice anarcho-tyranny, with the state of California being a standout example. Homeless people and illegal aliens are largely ignored, while minor infractions by taxpaying residents are zealously enforced. Professor Victor Davis Hanson—affectionately known as “VDH”—is a classicist, author, and podcaster. VDH has written and spoken extensively about the situation in California. Comedian, filmmaker, and podcaster Adam Carolla has similarly spoken about the differential treatment between groups of people in California. He sees the reason that mountains of red tape are heaped onto taxpayers and homeowners is that they’re capable of paying the fees and fines levied against them. On the other hand, officials ignore people running unlicensed street hot dog carts and roadside flower stands.

Under an anarcho-tyrannical system, it becomes even more important for the armed citizen to avoid violent conflict if at all possible. Even a “clean” self-defense case could still find the defender charged with some offense by a Left-wing prosecutor. “Winning” in court under these circumstances can still cost the defendant their life savings, while the state can draw out the process without concern for costs, turning the legal process into another form of punishment. Even prevailing in a trial is far from certain, no matter how justified the act of self-defense was. A jail or prison cell is about the worst place to be when “the Schumer hits the fan.”
Domestic Terrorism
As this is being written, a domestic terror campaign is being waged by the Left against Elon Musk and the Tesla automobile company. Dealerships and charging stations have been attacked with gunfire and incendiary bombs, and even individual owners and their vehicles have been targeted. It has been happening across the United States and shows every sign of continuing—and possibly escalating into more savage levels of violence.
These are not the first examples of terrorism in the West, but some of them are happening in neighborhoods and shopping centers, rather than the usual focus on “high profile” targets. There have been many examples of terrorism in recent years, especially under the “Biden” administration. Multiple attacks on local military bases in my area have occurred—one as recent as January of this year.
In Europe, there have been numerous, high-profile attacks, especially in France, England, Belgium, Germany. and France, for example, suffered the Île-de-France attacks in January 2015, followed in November of 2015 in Paris with the coordinated terrorist suicide bombings, attacks on cafés and restaurants, and the Bataclan theatre attack.
Some of the activities carried out under the umbrella of the George Floyd protests could be categorized as terrorism. Across the country, mobs set up roadblocks where rioters—openly armed with pistols, rifles, and other weapons—fired into vehicles whose drivers did not obey their commands. Widespread arson and acts of violence took dozens of lives.
Under anarcho-tyrannies, domestic terrorism may be labeled as “mostly peaceful protests,” and ordinary citizens who push back against them—or even simply criticize the violence on social media—may be given labels such as “white supremacist” (regardless of skin color) or “fascist” or “Nazi.” A U.S. Army sergeant moonlighting as a rideshare driver accidently encountered a street-blocking riot in Austin, Texas. When a rioter approached him with an AK-type rifle, he fired in fear for his life. He found his life ruined in a punitive prosecution by the Austin District Attorney and was convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He was later pardoned by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
Much more extreme acts of terror could occur in the Western World. William R. Forstchen wrote the short novel Day of Wrath, about a terrorist attack targeting schools across the United States. The attack he describes is simple, plausible, and horrific. An even larger attack is described by columnist, lawyer, and substitute radio talk show host Kurt Schlichter in his novel, The Attack. Schlichter wrote the book in the wake of the October 7, 2023 terror attack in Israel, as a warning to people in the U.S. that it could happen here. Author and former Navy SEAL officer Matt Bracken has described the possibility of such an attack―including the simplicity of the logistics for organizers of a group of terrorists who expect to be killed or to commit suicide.
