I don't have time to go into it but I've read arguments for most of these coming about by pure market force and much faster and more efficiently than by state force. Your argument is persuasive because those things came about as they did... but that doesn't mean they could not have come about by any other method. I'm not saying I'd win that in a debate just making a point that its a high bar to meet.
Chaos Theory by Robert Murphy is a good book on this topic. Its a great summary of many anarcho capitalist theories and answers to hard questions like nation defense and innovation. I have a hard time believing the Internet would have only been created due to the state funding... but I get that point being persuasive. I didn't come out of the womb with these ideas. My arguments against freedom were slowly destroyed as I thought them through and read people offering up alts. It would be different though that is for sure.
I do appreciate the push back though. My argument isn't a utilitarian one but rather a rational and moral argument. I would feel much better if we as people were honest about what is happening and would stop pretending that taxes are some magically thing. Just realizing that a power is stealing from us is a good counterbalance to the state. Its one that is easier to see if you have a king taxing "his" subjects. Democracy clouds the matter making people believe that they are the government. I reject that as a lie.
