Funny enough, historically anarchists have been called libertarians and were not against institutions and governance per se. Maybe you are caricaturing a bunch of movements that you do not agree with or are not well informed about?
People often conflate anarchists with libertarians. They are quite distinct, and the post I replied to clearly was referring to libertarians as not having a government.
The US was a reasonable approximation to libertarian up until perhaps FDR or so.

Wouldn't it be great if somehow the titans of Silicon Valley could figure out a way to bring back sweatshops, company towns, employment sharks, Pinkertons, and child labor? Oh, wait.
