I don't want to get into stateless law enforcement because it's too radical in a thread where I can't even convince people that the government should stop taking huge shits on every facet of the economy. I believe it could exist, but I'm quite alright with a minimal state that provides non-excludeable services like defense and law and order type stuff.
Anti-solutions are like... your opinion, man. The chicken farmer piece didn't really convince me of much, and I don't understand how the iphone is manufactured by blood, maybe you could link me to something for that? If its the standard sweatshop stuff, I think you know my position on sweatshops and how they're dramatically improving the lives of the poor in third world countries. Qatar is fucking Qatar, no libertarian or anarcho-capitalist on this planet is in favor slavery, and no slavery could exist without a government to enforce it.
ENRON was accountable for its crimes in a way that no politician or government entity in history has ever been accountable. It went bankrupt and its fallout was mainly self-contained. Seems fine. The global financial crisis is 100% state. The private sector played a role to be sure, but the incentives, artificially low interest rates, and heavily-subsidized home-owning was all state.
