Why should I adjust, or rather, why minority should adjust in the first place? If we have to, then it is not much different what state actually does. Are you still missing my point?

No, I understand your point: both anarchism and the state are forms of government.  I think we've established this point already.  Can you address the point about the state being involuntary and anarchism being voluntary, please?

I don't quite understand what you mean here by the state being involuntary and anarchism being voluntary. If you point is that the minority would walk away somewhere if they disagree with the majority, I don't think this relocation will be by their free will and accord. Actually, they will be coerced to do so by the majority. It happens daily in life even without state and its laws. But exactly the introduction of state in the form of the law allows to break this otherwise circular argument...

You are describing panarchism not anarchism. Also most anarchists are pro law, we imagine a society that has plenty of laws. We just imagine that those laws are provided in a competitive marketplace so that they can improve with time for the same reason that microprocessors get faster every year and cars get better gas mileage every year. So if you dont like the laws that you are presently governed by than you dont have to move away, you just change service providers.
