Ditto the bit about getting rid of property rights. But just to play along for a minute, you insist there's no way to abolish property rights without a state, and leftists (of the non-libertarian variety) insist that there's no way to enforce property rights without a state. Who's right? I don't know. But considering the way things have developed to this point, it's not "illogical" at all to figure that property rights as we know them might be unsustainable without the presence of a state.
(The last sentence above is more the left-libertarian position on property, in case you're interested.)

If somebody needs a ride, and he's willing to pay someone else to drive him where he wants to go, it's not really a useless job. Maybe not the most fulfilling occupation imaginable, but better than flipping burgers while wearing a paper hat and being nagged by some petty tyrant manager.

I had a job bussing tables at Chilis for about a week during college. One of the three (three!) manager-assholes pulled me aside one day and told me that if I ever wanted to have a chance to move up to manager someday, I'd have to hustle more. I thought, "Why? I can see the entire dining room from the corner right over here." I also found it kind of funny that he thought the chance to--maybe, if I played my cards right--become the flair guy from Office Space was supposed to be incentive to work harder.
