You know I respect your struggle with your ideals. I go through that now and then. That's not really what the argument for voluntaryism (libertarianism, anarchocapitalism, abolitism) js though. While corruption and outright murder by the state are important to point out, the voluntaryist argument is much more fundamental.
The foundation is the Non Aggression Principle which says that the only crime is the initiation of violence, or aggression more specifically. If you can accept that all forms of aggression (violence, threats of violence and coercion) are criminal, then you must accept that the state is a criminal organization.
If you still don't understand, I'll answer any questions or objections you have, but that is it. There is no argument for the state after you accept the Non Aggression Principle.

hierarchy is ok, but hierarchical organization doesn't require a State
