@pomperipossa: Strong questions can provoke strong answers -- or at least strong thought in the thinker -- so I'm glad you've asked these!

Thank you @erikaharris! It seems to me like these people are confused and don't have answers. I hope some of them get provoked into thinking. :)
Most people believe that anarchy is lawlessness but that's simply not the truth.
Anarchy begins with the concept of Sovereignty. But Who or what is a sovereign?
Anarcho-Capitalists believe that each person is an Individual Sovereign Entity who can privately own everything he can personally control and no other Sovereign Entity has the Right to use force against him to take that which he controls.
Anarcho-Communists believe in the opposite that people can own nothing except that which he can hold or reasonably need to survive and that the "Group" as a whole is sovereign.
Statism in the United States is a combination of both, where the group is sovereign but people have rights regulating the use of force.
Of course this is all theory, nothing is absolute but I was wondering where we can find examples of either type of Anarchy in de facto operation and this is the result of my observations.

"Most people believe that anarchy is lawlessness but that's simply not the truth."
I agree.
"Anarchy begins with the concept of Sovereignty. But Who or what is a sovereign?
Anarcho-Capitalists believe that each person is an Individual Sovereign Entity"
Thus far I agree.
"who can privately own everything he can personally control and no other Sovereign Entity has the Right to use force against him to take that which he controls."
I believe you lack some understanding here. Maybe these articles will help you get some clarity? https://steemit.com/philosophy/@pomperipossa/property-rights-exist-because-we-have-morality

Anarcho-capitalism can be found in everyday life. Like the fact that in many countries you can decide who to get married to as long as the other person decides to get married to you. You are not assigned a wife by the state.
As for an anarcho-capitalist society, Liberland is striving to get recognized as a sovereign country but as of today the closest you get to an anarcho-capitalist society is probably Lichtenstein.

Morality is a fiction which only exists within the framework of the rule of law.
I don't need law to know what is moral. Do you?
What is the moral And where does it come from?
There's no good or bad only the result of action. Intended or unintended the result is neither good nor bad. It is the result we have to live with or change by further action based on survival needs and/or emotional wants and desires.
Oh, ffs. You want to have sex with a woman. Is forcing her to have sex with you moral?
You want your neighbor's land. Is killing him to get it moral?
Your friend has lunch money, and yours was stolen by a bully you were too cowardly to punch in the face. Is it moral for you to steal from your friend?
What is moral? That's the problem with people like you. Apparently, you're a sociopath, and you have no idea what's moral without laws and governments to contain your impulses?
Where does it come from? It comes from common sense. Don't force your will on others. That's not a complicated thing to understand unless you are a sociopath.
None of those crimes are "crimes" without the law saying so. You may "feel" they are wrong but if the perpetrator has an army you're powerless against him without forming one of your own.
