What that says to me is that even in its worst case scenario,
anarcho-capitalism would result in a nation state. I conclude that we have

Other PPAs, as I said elsewhere. Moreover, they will back your ability to
choose, not because it is morally right, but because this ability is
valuable to customers; they will therefore be willing to pay for it.
