one of the best arguments against anarcho-capitalism is that without a goverment, there would be no market to speak of.
why exchange in trade if no one can guarantee it will be beneficial for you? Why would the other party trade instead of just stealing your stuff?
You could ofcourse defend against by carrying a bigger stick then the next guy or cooperating with others.
Which starts to look an awful lot like the organised structure of a state..

Anarcho-capitalism is like one of those high atomic number elements with a half-life of microsecond. The society it describes is so unbelievably unstable, due to its own internal contradictions, that it practically cannot exist. A stable version of it is a literal fantasy.
Yeah, same thing with communism and the assumption everyone will work for the best interest of the state. It just takes one bad actor and the corruption cascades and ruins the system. At least capitalism uses human greed as a motivator. I do think humans can be selfless, if they are mindful and educated, unfortunately with current poverty levels and disinformation, people arent smart enough to realise whats good for you is good for me
