The reason anthropologists are anarchists is because they know how humans invented the state

I knew a fellow that studied anthropology in college. Got a high paying job figuring out how to deny insurance payments to people.

Not to take away from your point, but I do wonder how the hell he got there.

Every good archaeologist and anthropologist is a bit of an anarchist.
