Anarcho-capitalism seems to require a society based on personal freedom.
However, since the current societies do not fall into that cathegory.
A company actually creates a mini-state with its own hierarchical dictatorship.

Since companies buy and sell the stuff, it seems only natural to me that
anarcho-capitalism will not work too well in that environment.
