They are just delusional idiots, imagining that people would follow laws without a government backing them up.  Hell, even with a government, people are often quite willing to break the law.  What do you think would happen if there were nothing enforcing the law?

I would call them Utopists. One can always hope that human nature allows for peaceful interactions. Is it realistic? No. But a dreamer isn't automatically an idiot.

Even that isn't entirely true.  The anarcho-capitalists don't think human nature will lead to peaceful interactions; they're the ones who believe that the free market will cure all social ills.  They tend to sound a lot like the religious nuts, only they worship the free market as some kind of invisible, omni-benevolent diety that will bring happiness to all who accept it.  As for me, I can't imagine a world more distopian than one where you have to buy police service or courts.  I mean, the super wealthy already get away with a lot now, but if social institutions like that were literally their employees, I can't see them ever being held accountable for anything.

I suppose this all depends on what type of anarchism you believe in.  They all claim their brand of anarcho-_____ is the only "real" anarchism.
