Regulations are a tool. Useful as hammers, but just as painful if applied incorrectly.

At least at the local level if something is insanely broken you can have action to correct it. But getting a law to do anything at the federal level is almost impossible unless you fill it with pork for every lobbyist in the DC zip codes.
You: "Let's get rid of all laws and regulations then!"
btw, graeber/wengrow research has found that it's historically inaccurate to say that all this is necessary or inevitable in larger society
Without that, proposed alternatives are great for thought provoking theoretical and philosophical consideration, but are without much utility when it comes to replacing what we have. The system we have now is largely failing us, but it can be carefully reformed into something a bit better. Throwing it out and replacing it with something entirely other isn't something I'd support without knowing exactly what we'd be getting ourselves into and that means seeing it (or something very close to it) at work.
