Face It

Unless you want world government, you're already an anarchist. We're just haggling over the level.

Not really. There is no reason that support of a particular state has to be 'principled' or 'universal'. Fuck that Kantian nonsense. The idea that law has anything to do with this 'morality' nonsense is childish.

I'm not a Kantian. The point is that libertarians who oppose a single world government logically imply that order is possible without government. If it's true at the international level it's also true at lower levels. In fact, it's more true there because the governments that interact internationally face perverse incentives and can socialize costs, something individuals cannot do.
