And Harrelson himself understands Katniss' unwillingness to live by rules that are meaningless to her.
"I'm an anarchist. You've got to defy certain unnecessary rules. But there are certain very good rules around traffic that are not adhered to in this town. I'm one of the idiots breaking them," says Harrelson, who rode to this interview on his motorcycle, with his wife, Laura, sitting behind him. "For the important ones, I'm always on target. I had precious cargo in the back. That's not even funny."
Harrelson lives mostly in Hawaii with his wife and three daughters, staying largely out of the spotlight. So how does his rebelliousness manifest itself?
"I don't believe in government. In other words, I think we can all look after ourselves. You want some mechanism that controls the traffic, absolutely. But generally, what the government accomplishes, 99% of that is (expletive)," he says. "I look at government as businessmen working for bigger businessmen. There's obvious things — don't steal, the Ten Commandments. There's what we call victimless crimes. In my opinion, if you don't actually have a victim who's a human being, someone who's been hurt or their property has been hurt, there's no crime."
About anarcho-capitalism
From Wikipedia:
Anarcho-capitalism (also referred to as free-market anarchism, market anarchism, private-property anarchism, libertarian anarchism) is a political philosophy which advocates the elimination of the state in favor of individual sovereignty, private property, and open markets. Anarcho-capitalists believe that in the absence of statute (law by decree or legislation), society would improve itself through the discipline of the free market (or what its proponents describe as a "voluntary society"). In an anarcho-capitalist society, law enforcement, courts, and all other security services would be operated by privately funded competitors rather than centrally through compulsory taxation. Money, along with all other goods and services, would be privately and competitively provided in an open market. Therefore, personal and economic activities under anarcho-capitalism would be regulated by victim-based dispute resolution organizations under tort and contract law, rather than by statute through centrally determined punishment under political monopolies.
