No, the burden of proof is on the existing system, not the lack thereof
That's what should happen. However at the end of the day, to get people interested, you have to sell it.

This is why, whenever I speak against the system, people want me to explain what I would replace it with. People are so used to being ruled that they expect me to be like a ruler. But my mission isn't to prescribe solutions to every possible scenario, nor is that the objective of any legitimate social system. The more a person or system claims to have all the answers, the greater our skepticism should be. Usually, such a person or system winds up persecuting someone else.
We need to have an idea what to do after eliminating government, because otherwise all we have is a free-for-all. Most likely someone else will take charge and create his/her own government, because there will be nothing to stop him/her.

So my question is how do we stop a single person gaining too much power after the government is gone?


Don't forget this is all in good fun!
