True. Mankind started in anarchy and anarchy is what every society crawled out of, not toward. The whole history of civilization is the history of men trying to get force under objective control, and the anarcho-capitalist proposal is to hand it back to whoever can field the most muscle. Competing defense agencies is just a polite name for competing gangs, and the gang with the biggest arsenal becomes the government anyway, except now without a constitution, without rights, and without anyone to appeal to. Capitalism does not grow out of anarchy. It requires the one thing anarchy cannot provide, a single government restricted to protecting individual rights under objective law. Freedom is not the absence of government. It is government confined to its proper job which is to protect individual rights.

Question for anarcho-capitalists: If anarchy naturally leads to freedom and capitalism, how does that happen when the overwhelming majority of people believe freedom includes an entitlement to something at someone else's expense? If people don't understand or respect individual rights, why would removing the government suddenly make them respect those rights? And what prevents them from simply establishing a new government to enforce their preferences?
