You can literally subscribe to a protection company right now who will back down instead of facing the "enormous cost" of war with the federal government. Freedom!
Law without government is when you have various Yakuza families arbitrate large scale protection rackets. But kiryu never shows up. Everyone's just Mine from Yakuza 3 except worse (and that guy knocked down an orphanage)

Sounds like owning nothing and being happy.
"Just trust porky bro"
Proceeds to describe insurance, something infamous for being completely useless (and some you are required by law to subscribe to).
Without government Marie's might is right, she pays a ganger to whack Walter. Problem solved.
Walter Robs Marie. Walter is very rich and pays Marie's protection company to look the other way. In fact, Walter owns all protection companies and uses his wealth and power to pillage the wealth of others and destroy any competition before it can challenge him.
Ancaps invent government but much worse
Sweet Jesus, its like they thought Snow Crash was a manual or something.
What's stopping ADT and Ring from just having their own turfs that they agree they stay in and robbing anyone who lives in their turf to make them pay for their services?
My favorite part of this is payment with what? Without a government to back currency there is no money.

Sure am glad that all actors always have equal power in every interaction. I mean, can you imagine?
Genuinely just a clumsy and even-more-extractive version of feudalism. They claim that there is no government, but what are these companies if not competing governments? Just because they are "private" doesn't mean they aren't if we are to say that governments are a sociological phenomenon and not just "a thing some bodies call themselves"
This all sounds great, but what's the catch?
This is just the government again guys
Just full throttle toward snow crash let's go baby
I have to hope that this was made as a bit, but knowing libertarians, it's not
