Transitioning a Society towards Anarcho-Capitalism is wrong.

Society ought to be transitioned towards Freed Markets. From within the scope of Freed Markets people may choose how they wish to organize themselves (this is where Anarcho-Capitalism, Communism, Syndicalism, Primitivism, Mutualism, Left Libertarianism, Right Libertarianism etc come in).

Why? Because many people will reject Anarcho-Capitalism and as such it will have to be enforced, through a State, the same problem Lenin and the Bolsheviks ran into. And once you start doing that... you make enemies and you need to protect a central hub (State) so it hires security (Soldiers/Law Enforcement) and then you're right back where you started.

Anarcho-Capitalism allows for most of the sub-categories to exist within itself, but they have to be on a voluntary level (i.e. you don't get to have your magic uniform going around and skewering people who don't do what you want them to do when you have no moral grounds for making them do it, other than some post-modernist drivel bullshit or some attempt at imposing an outside "morality").

In an an-cap society, it is perfectly acceptable for a bunch of people to try to get together and create a syndicalist neighborhood. If they are all willing participants in the soon-to-fail experiment (sorry, you just can't rewrite human nature.), that's fine and well. They get to bear the consequences, good or bad, or whatever way of organizing themselves they have decided upon. Or let's say you have a sub-division or neighborhood that everyone who buys a house there must sign a behavioral contract, restricting them from doing gaudy things with their lawns or houses, and have to pitch in to pay for 24/7 security and lawcare services. If I walked into that as a voluntary, non-coerced participant and I decide that it is worth it for me to sign a contracting guaranteeing X amount of my resources per month, then that's cool.

Anarcho-capitalism is about morality and ethics! Free markets are only a cog in that essential machine - they are an extension of the recognition of inalienable human rights, simultaneously possessed by all human beings by nature of the fact that they are human being. All of the details are not and can not be up to one group to decide "on behalf" of another, or what not. The "morality" of those other societal structures and Utopic dreams is not moral if it is blanket applied to all human beings. It always requires some to be slaves to others at gunpoint, without exception. Anarcho-capitalism is the highest form of morality because all of its moral axioms can and must be applied equally to all human beings simultaneously. Within that, you will likely have people doing a lot of really, really stupid shit, like believing that you can re-write human nature, etc. But you have the right to think that stuff and hang out with and do business with other like-minded people. An-cap just makes sure I have the right to give the crazies a really wide berth and do business with, be friends with, and associate with people who exist in the rational world...
