Anar-caps permit any other form of anarchism - provided you own land.

Statism permits any other form of government - provided you pay taxes and respect the law.

Under US form of government, it is not permitted to have multiple overlapping anarchist legal orders, unless the system was radically reformed.
You don't actually have to own the land...You could rent the land or hold the land as a collective.
Yeah, if someone is willing to enter a contract with you, which they are free to decline.

Anyhow, beyond the mere principle of having to be part of a system you reject, it is quite weird to say that any anarchist could live in an anar-cap utopia, when there are such differences between them ; just like it would be weird to say that any anarchy can fully develop as a community within a statist society.
