Yes consumerism is regressive but it’s what makes most humans happy. Beyond survival Keeping up with the Joneses is humanity’s second favorite pastime. I don’t see doing away with all aspects of the US government. Beginning with ending involuntary taxation. Our republic can stilll exist on a voluntary basis with a voluntary but privately funded courts. Pay to play but everyone gets a vote. I’ve read lots of stuff in how ancapistan could work and how ancommiestan could work; but honestly simply ending taxation will force the market to adapt naturally and voluntarily. Like no one could have anticipated or planned. Humanity will always need a civil structure to resolve disputes and keep the peace. Without involuntary taxation as the main moral tenant to live by.
