Yeah, that's a typical response, why do anarchists always defer to arguments to authority instead of just answering my simple questions themselves and then saying I need to learn more?

Do you explain how monopolies are impossible in this imaginary stateless free market?
Another premise I feel is flawed, the idea that violence will be too expensive for anyone because then people will give your protection agency bad yelp reviews and no one will do business with you, in reality violence is cheap, bullets cost very little and competition is expensive. We see this in practice anywhere gangs or cartels fight one another.
Indeed a state can create corporate monopolies but it is also the only way to break them up. In practice the unrestricted monopolistic corporation will buy out or crush any technological disruptors or the disruptor replaces them and then they have the monopoly, at the end of the day there is only one game in town without antitrust laws.
right, everyone will just be good and there would be no violence because otherwise the invisible hand of the free market will punish them, for example drug cartels, they are never violent or else no one would buy drugs from them, no one buys drugs from someone with a violent reputation right?
I'll watch one more video if this one is going to be the one that finally answers more questions than it raises, as long as it is less than a half hour, I will commit to watching at least half, what specific one should I watch?
