So what? You say this like it means something. There was a time when there had never been a representative democracy. There was a time when there had never been a monarchy. There was a time when there had never been state socialism. Your argument says that all of them were then impossible because they had not previously existed.

Monarchy did not exist before someone produced a political theory to justify it and propagated that theory to the masses. The same is true of representative democracy. And state socialism. And every other form of government. And the same will be true of the lack thereof.

Anarcho-capitalist theory is brand-new on historical timescales. All that needs to be done to make it viable is to spread the word to the masses.

And what has history taught us about making statements of the form, "this new civilizational model is the ultimate in social evolution, and is the form of government that makes all other forms of government obsolete"?

Ah but the difference is that those statements were wrong, and have been shown to be wrong theoretically. Empirical results confirm those theoretical analyses. Meanwhile, correct economic analysis shows that the free market does in fact provide for any good or service better than a coercive monopoly, and this is backed up by mountains of historical empirical evidence. The fact that thus far we have not yet managed to kick the vampire free of society in every industry at the same time doen't mean that it is somehow good to be preyed upon or that it is inevitable.
