My speculation is that the U.S. does not want to establish the principle that it has to defer to some higher authority before carrying out the use of violence.

The threat and use of violence is stimulating nuclear proliferation along with jihadi terrorism.

Our only real hope for democracy is that we get the money out of politics entirely and establish a system of publicly funded elections.

That is what I have always understood to be the essence of anarchism: the conviction that the burden of proof has to be placed on authority, and that it should be dismantled if that burden cannot be met.
