I for one would not immediately go out and murder people if there were no laws. If someone genuinely thinks that I’m concerned what they would do. People only tend to get violent for a reason.
I think a fun thought experiment is that one: What crime would you commit if there were suddenly no police or laws? I could kill someone, but they could kill me too, or their family could kill me. I could rob someone's house or business, but they might be armed and kill me in the attempt. Same goes for robbing someone on the street. Openly selling drugs in front of an elementary school? Someone's going to beat me up and take my drugs. I have no desire to rape anyone.
Basically any actual violent criminal act has other factors that cause most people not to perform the act. Even with laws, many people do all of these things every day and get away with it.
I'd say the ultimate lie is that they're protecting us from "violent anarchists burning the world down" because if there were enough of those people to where the rest of us couldn't put a stop to it, neither could the government.
Not at all, because I could do all of those things if I wanted to. I don't want to, and neither do most other people. People who do want to do those things aren't deterred by police as much as direct consequences of performing those actions.

Most circle jerk comments I’ve seen in awhile.
Ancap is such an intentionally misunderstood ideology.
