anarchocapitlist stability

[mrgold]

Isnt the natural state that existed before government anarchocapitalist (as PVN describes it)? Didn't this state collapse when the strongest individual and his cronies declared themselves the state? Why would an anarchocapitalist state be any different? After long enough a period of time passed, wouldn't a situation arise in which a particular capitalist was strong enough to declare himself the state? Without the bulwark of some sort of legalistic and multipolar state, what prevents the descent from anarchocapitalism to a much more stable despotic (or considering the current proliferation of nuclear weapons some sort of feudal) arrangment?
