In his videos I've seen him answer questions of "what about Somalia" and "what about roads" and various other questions.
I don't have unlimited access to the Internet myself at the moment so I don't watch his videos.
I think his response regarding Somalia was that it isn't a place that adopted anarchy as a philosophical solution, it adopted it because the government collapsed and the country was already full of crime and so on.
With regards to people forming their own organisations to take control of roads who have appointed leaders in guessing these would be against the laws in an anarchist capitalist society.
As there would still be laws, and police but without a government above them who can sometimes be above the law.
Not that I don't see flaws in that system but that was the point of view given by Stephen molyneux who I think is the most famous anarchist capitalist I know of.
The last thing I would want is the police to be the top of the food chain when it came to laws. It should be obvious to see the problem with that. Also anarchy does not lead to good roads. Otherwise you'd have good roads in places with little government, which are plentiful in the world. There are also private roads in the United States in fact I use on regularly as part of my job, and they almost universally suck. Sure, there would still be roads, but they would suck. I think the better answer to Somalia were is that it's fucked up with or without a government. The height of Somalia was in the 1400s and it's been all downhill for there. That it doesn't have a functioning government makes little difference really.
Anarcho-capitalism shares an identical problem to communism. It functions on hypothetical and ignores the huge flaws in the theory.
