The system you describe cannot exist. An anarchist or libertarian state in the real world can neither regulate nor defend itself from other states. It's a fantasy that would collapse immediately upon implementation in all possible real world circumstances.
@MostlyBirds @abbiistabbii, anarchy is the system to which a mature and sovereign society automatically converges, but for this current humanity is still too young as specie, the evolutionary state can be compared with that of a child in puberty, regarding behavior. An anarchic system would necessarily lead to a collapse total of the current society (Lord of the Flies effect). A long way still to go.
This is completely made up nonsense. There's a reason no one takes anarchists seriously.
@MostlyBirds, imagine one moment the USA changing to an Anarchistic System, with the people they have, one moment only. It will be something like High Noon and Mad Max.
Changes are needed with urgency ending this capitalistic system, but you can't do it in one strikein a revolution like in France in the 18 century with the current population, it get corrupt in few days as most revolution, because you can't change the people in one day to another. This path must be done walking, not sprinting.
