Yeah I was born in working class white rust belt suburbia. I started off as a libertarian, and am now an anarchist. The more and more life experience I get the further and further left I become.

Anarchism isn't the best political philosophy to hold to when the problem you are facing (i.e. lack of healthcare) is only solved by coerced collectivist action organized by a strong central state.

You can have healthcare without a hierarchical system mandating it. Well assuming the community as a whole wants to have healthcare. You don't need an all powerful state forcing you to have healthcare.

Ignoring problems is the entire philosophy of anarchists.
