Everything is subject to government laws though, because if you don't comply then you get forcefully thrown in a cage. Anyone who works outside the law would either be in complete secret to the point where I wouldn't be able to quote them or that their operations are stopped and put in a cage.
And then you criticize me for not showing a working example of a successful anarchist society when it is violently and directly stopped by the government from reaching any large or successful scale.
It's like holding a bird down with your foot and saying "See! birds can't fly" Maybe take your god damn foot off and then we shall see.
Also, the definition of Anarchism you got wrong, it is rules but no rulers. So if you going to lecture me, I would appreciate you actually knowing what you are talking about.
But don't you see, that is why anarchism simply cannot succeed at a large scale. It will always be at the mercy of the first person with a gun who decides to take charge.
So you are saying we need a government to initiate violence upon people to protect those people from potential initiators of violence?
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
