I understand it in the same way as how I might understand a unicorn.
No, just some other form of coercive power, it may or may not be centralised.
My question to you is how are you going to do it? You already said this:
That's astounding. Is this really the first time you've thought of how to enact anarcho-capitalism?
And then they'll do like in most of Europe and Asia and simply deduct it from your wages ahead of time, or garnish it from your bank account. Now what?
Oh, and who is going to accept your new non-official currency? You would need to actually make organisations that would accept these tokens, and you'd have to do so without law enforcement busting you for some kind of fraud violation, meaning that you would probably need a paramilitary to protect you, and that would also mean that you'd need to make autonomous zones of anarchy.
You see where this is going, right? In order to prevent attacks on your person, you'd have to create hierarchical systems that would compel people to defend your anarchy and attack the state. 60% of your demographic is working class, and they own basically nothing, so you will need to organise them and find a way to keep them from falling to pieces.
So you end up with a recipe for some pretty non-libertarian things to happen, congratulations.
