goldman - anarchism

Emma Goldman gives a direct definition of Anarchism in her essay "Anarchism: What it really stands for." She states that Anarchy is "The philosophy of a new social order based on liberty unrestricted by man-made law; the theory that all forms of government rest on violence, and are therefore wrong and harmful, as well as unnecessary." I have two problems with this. The first is that this is as much of a condemnation of other forms of government as it is a definition of Anarchism. No where in her essay is there any proof that all other forms of government "rest on violence." There was just too much one sidedness for me to take Goldman's paper seriously. Secondly, there are governments and subordination for a reason. If a society could function properly without outside control, then there would be no government today. But no matter which society you look at, some kind of government has been set up so that people cannot simply do whatever they want. When cooperation between people is necessary, so is law that governs the cooperation.
She makes the state sound like an evil power hungry monster who only wants to take all control for itself and force all of its subjects into slavery. "Even a flock of sheep would resist the chicanery of the State, if it were not for the corruptive, tyrannical and oppressive methods it employs to serve its purposes." What these tyrannical and oppressive methods are, only god seems to know. Goldman tells about how society is a colorless, spiritless, taxpaying machine, but does she ever tell us what would change if all government were to be eradicated? No, from the way she makes it sound, I feel like she only wrote this because she doesn't like paying her taxes.
