dinosaurs succeeded in the past, now they are extinct. In the present they would probably be eaten by wolves or bears and would not likely survive breathing our present atmosphere. The same with ancient Irish governance. How would you solve the problem of the Chinese or Muslims or the British coming to take over?
Not sure about that.
Either way, they seemed to have been doing fine until the statist goons came. Another proof of concept for the self-owners. Another fail for statism.
it would only be that if they were still doing it today and were not overtaken by statists. What is the anarchist solution to screwworm?
It would only be a fail for statism if statism failed? Yes, I agree, I guess.
I suppose that is the corollary to your example only being a success had it actually succeeded into the present.
Something succeeded in the past =/= that same thing could not succeed in the present.

“Dinosaurs would be eaten by wolves.”
And such are the arguments of a statist.
An extinct dinosaur would survive just fine in the modern world if one were reanimated is the anarchist claim in this case.
