For further clarification, Anarcho-Capitalists advocate for a society that is stateless, but not lawless.

The basic premise of their philosophy is that the government does a poor job of growing and distributing food; creating and enforcing law is not an easier task than growing potatoes, therefore, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to assume that the government would do a great job at that. And indeed if you look at modern society, the most glaring examples of inequality are in policing, the justice system, and in k-12 education, all of which are government-controlled.

Whatever aggregate enforces law is, ipso facto, the State.
