The young people I wrote of in the post you quoted all know more than you about history and wouldn't consider recent history obscure knowledge. What historical events would be relevant to a discussion of why we have police and what would be the consequences of doing away with them? Has there ever been a period of history where capitalists operated unregulated? What was the result of that?
As far as I know, real anarcho-capitalism has never been tried. There has never been a country where most people believed in anarcho-capitalism. Unlike for communism, there have been multiple times and places where most people actually believed in communism... with bad consequences.
You didn't answer the question. That indicates you either don't know the answer or don't wish to admit that unregulated capitalism has a history of bad consequences.
