When I consider what I don't like about the government it is not so much that they have a monopoly on power or that it is immoral, nor do I feel some longing for tribalism or the like.
I simply dislike the monopoly on ideology that it has by neccesity.
I am an individualist at heart, and what I dislike about government is that be you a communist, fascist, or liberal you must live in the ideology of the state. I have no choice but to live under the current regime of liberal-capitalism no matter my thoughts on it.
I also dislike it's monopoly on morality. When I live under the laws of the government those laws can only represent one view of right and wrong, but I do not believe there is such a single moral truth.
This is what I truly desire from anarchism, not necessarily that a collective government cannot exist but hat it cannot force you to stay.
What I want is a system under which any ideology or moral system can exist so long as any individual can know of the alternative societies and groups and be able to leave for them at any time.
When we argue about economics we cannot prove ourselves right or e other wrong, especially when the argument is about the subjective rightness or wrongness of systems. So too is it impossible to prove or disprove an organization of society or moral code.
We cannot even manage to measure the relative merits of systems by objective measures.
I wish to find or create a system under which any group can live out their own beliefs and goals in piece, a world where individuals decide their values and live them.
What is required for this?
A meta system must exist under which all these systems run, it would consist by whatever means of the rules that allow these societies.
All individuals must be able to know about and move to another group.
Any group that attempts to force subjects to stay or hide the other systems from the subjects or propagandize against other groups must not only be deterred but disbanded by the other groups.
Groups must be prevented from fighting each other and a system must be in place to resolve differences between groups.

My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.
