The goal is liberty, but the abolition of the state is necessary for us to reach that goal. That isn't to say we don't want government per se. We do want government in the sense that we pick who we let govern us by buying their service and freely associating with them. We wouldn't be forced to pay arbiters or protection agents, but rather we would choose whether or not we would buy the services and if we do buy then choose who we wish to deal with.
