Great stuff as always, Larken.

What do you say to those who are convinced anarchists just don't understand "the real world" and if we were as learned or experienced as them, we'd "clearly" understand the need for a Hobbsian Leviathian to maintain the basic structures they believe are required for society to function as many humans are living together in small spaces like cities. I see versions of the argument you using here used to justify the need for benevolent dictators (they would call them "duly elected public servants") who just know better than all those simpletons who can't be bothered with civil affairs cities, counties, and states have to deal with.
