I was using the term loosely. I agree with you that real anarcho-capitalism is impossible, not just because of external threats but because a people's loyalty to the law depends in part on how legitimate they consider the government to be.

An anarcho-capitalist regime would do almost nothing to maintain public order and would be highly unlikely to enforce what laws it did enforce fairly.

I agree. Anarchism would be great, but it would only work if the population was exclusively made up of responsible adults, in the strictest sense of the word. We are a long, long way from that.

anarchism is a stupid utopian construct

Anarchism is the state that Commies use to build their totalitarian empires
