This dude's imagined world must have zero unemployment and constant violence because 30% of the population is private cops preventing eachother from doing cop shit. Efficiency
That's interesting observation. Because how private is "private"? If i get a gun and rob someone because i selfemployed as a cop and that robbed dude clearly infringed on my freedoms, so i can just impose a legal fine on him and it's not even a robbery then, right? What if that dude then hire two guys with a guns or come at me with his brother and they are also legally employed as "right enforcers" because he contest the fine i imposed upon him? Won't that just mean that the might is right and the gangs law enforcements agencies will push up the selfemployed from the market (and into the river with bullet in head or concrete shoes)? And what if one of such agencies monopolise the market and can interpret the "rights" as they please?
Yeah, I mean that's basically how states form in the first place. The Ancap answer on how to avoid this would probably be (in theory) to have a population that wouldn't go along with it (this is part of how the Ancap -> fascist pipeline works, they end up wanting an ethnostate where they can kill leftists and other "undesirables"), or to simply assert "that wouldn't happen" (contrary to all of history). In practice, if an Ancap project devolved into that they would simply declare that it's not real Ancapism.
The ideology is extremely detached from reality and it's adherents believe in bizarre principles with absolute faith. Many in the cult explicitly reject the idea that historical or empirical evidence could falsify their beliefs. I think my favorite of their brain-meltingly stupid arguments is: "The fact that we're having this discussion instead of physically fighting proves that you already accepted the Non-Aggression Principle" which is the most thing I've ever heard in my life. They are, without exception, debate perverts.

constant violence
zero unemployment!?
Well, the only barrier of going from unemployed to """private cop""" in Ancapistan is owning a gun and having nothing to lose, so that tracks.

Exactly, it's unfaslifable unachievable ideal, and they are even proud of it.
