I broke it up but it looks like it could be sorted and resorted ad nasuem. It's not alphabetical, is it stream of consciousness? It ends in a dark place.
These three (no Arlington Cemetery, no protected historical sites, no Social Security) flagged by negation, preceding "no government at any level'. That sounds like nihilistic chaos.
How about Constitution, Rule of Law, border control. Consider minarchism and non-governmentqal organizations.
Consider a phenomenon in Eugene-Springfield, Cahoots; in a country who's police stand down from riots and still get cancelled. In 1969 the Whitebird Clinic's Bummer Squad roamed the streets in one of those flat-nose Dodge minivans. Some time after I'd left they fell in with the Eugene police and renamed themselves Cahoots, and today they have big white Sprinter vans. The Eugene-Springfield police credit and give respect to Cahoots and Cahoots credits and respects the network of non-governmental organizations that exist locally.
Whitebird Clinic itself is legendary, right behind the Free Clinic in Haight-Ashbury, SF.

* I was attempting, off the top of my head, to provide a partial list of things objectionable to that party. My experience with them was that, they weren't necessarily interested in any government at all. It's random. Typed on the fly.
* The list touches on services which are publicly funded.
* According to Adam Smith, the only reason a Howard Roark or John Galt would be able to sleep soundly at night, was because they knew that a BIG, POWERFUL government was watching their back, from the local constabulary, all the way on up to the Queen's navy, army, defense contractors, spies, treaties, alliances, back-channels, propaganda, state secrets,.............. everything you'll read about in The Art of War.
* Any 'Constitution' implies a government big enough to defend it.
* Rule of Law goes against capital, as it implies the authority to regulate, and especially commerce.
* Borders don't exist except for sovereigns, recognized by at least one nation, protected under international law.
* An ill-informed, under-informed, mislead, uneducated populace is problematic, not just for police departments. Remember, Thomas Jefferson spoke about an 'informed' public. Something problematic to capital.
* I don't have any experience with NGOs, just what I see on PBS. Doctors Without Borders, church-led organs attempting to feed the starving in war-torn countries, etc..
