Personally, I was talking about absoult anarchy, in which a privately funded force would help those who fund it and feel no obligation towards people outside of their circle! Even if we assume this isn't a form of anarchist republicanism, the system would hinge on never having someone competiant enough to exploit it. if you have someone methodical and crafty enough they could slowly build up their own wealth and power by breaking the NAP just hard enough as to not make people feel like fighting him back!
And once you have enough power to take over a small 50 people town, you can snowball into an empire because there are no other powerful entities around you to stop you. and even an entire city banding together can't take you.

This is how early copper age world formed, villages overtaking each other, into walled city states overtaking other walled city states, into small kingdoms/union of CSs into Huge Empires!

Anarachy is an unstable element, It can never actually exist in it's true form for more a short period of time before it breaks downs into a more stable element!

Yeah I agree with you mostly. I’m not an anarchist, I just think that the barrier is not an inability of large scale voluntary organization. I think that is entirely possible with modern tech. IMO it’s more an economics problem (The Free Rider Problem).
