I've nothing to add - just wanted to check in as an Anarcho-Capitalist.

Sounds great on paper. In practice, I have my doubts.

Anarcho-Capitalist...works until your neighbor, that owes you 'X', decides not to pay you. How is a redress of wrongs then accomplished.
Sue them in court?Take them to court, obviously.
Edit: or numerous other methods. There are numerous methods used today depending on the specific circumstances, why would any in particular not be an option in an "anarchical" society?

You may not be a anachro-capitalist if you need a court.
I am pretty familiar with 'anarcho-capitalism,' more than the Average Joe I would imagine... Third sentence in the Wikipedia article "In an anarcho-capitalist society, law enforcement, courts, and all other security services would be operated by privately funded competitors rather than centrally through compulsory taxation."
Privately funded competing police departments and courts? Guys get mad about citation or arrest quotas but want it be "competitive"? Can anyone else imagine that nightmare?

I think that you're applying the word competitive incorrectly. It would be possible that so-called "citations" wouldn't even exist, as a matter of fact. Since transportation systems would also be privately owned and operated, they would likely create a set of rules and a fee schedule for violations. Violation of the rules and refusal to pay the fees would easily result in being trespassed and denied access to the company's transportation system. Competing transportation systems would likely compete to create the most appealing ruleset and fee schedule. Mostly theoretical, but there are of course privately owned and operated roadways and other transportation systems in existence today. As there are privately owned and operated law enforcement/security agencies. And repossession companies. And private courts (which are regularly employed in favor of taking a matter to government court). etc...
Edit: You may be asking "what's the damn difference, then?" The difference is actually pretty subtle. Subtle but crucial.
