The offer like this should either have guaranties implied or is not worth considering. What would those be?

Also, by offering this, they already recognize you as sovereign; it's time to loudly make this public and get support from some other countries/rally more people for your cause!

Thus, I find this scenario either extremely unprobable, either the state is losing so badly you are about to win, or it's a clear trap.

Look for your local documentaries about wild animal rehab. Ones on Finnish main broadcast are awesome, but I'm pretty sure they weren't translated except for Swedish.

Oh, the 100+ years revolt worked, pretty well, it just had nothing to do with anarchy - both major forces were socialist and capitalist tyranny fans. Anarchists were not very numerous, except for Ukrainian Mahno movement and a few less known, all of which were just conquered by regular means of war, being successful otherwise.

I mean toppled USSR, that was given time to fuck everything up at its own pace afterards. And pretty much any other tyranny that was given freedom to violate all reasonable humanity laws, from cancer and Somalian pirates to Google and Facebook, - things just get worse with time.

Spent my first 3 years in academia doing exactly this. This is no 7.5 buffer. You've got suspension with zcp at around 7 probably.

Don't overestimate the cultural influence - it's strong, but not that strong. And generally people are not all that dumb. And most people start search for political theory in native languages, which is quite rarely English, for lingua franca is tainted by this stuff like OP mentioned for the benefit of US political circlejerk.

Yeah, I remember, when I used to live in Texas, there was this "libertarian party" that had nothing to do with liber- but just ultra right religious jerks sucking for the Trump party.

And there was some "tea party" guys that were into libertarianism at the time, but really were Trump supporters essentially, just more sensible otherwise. The situation was unmeasurably stupid, considering how the whole idea of the US was about libertarianism and no movement really promoted its ideas, just "let's regulate something else and make each others lives more miserable" things.

But then I'm pretty sure this theft of libertarianism is effective only in the US.

The page on anarcho-capitalism gives better credit to this problem:

Anarcho-capitalism developed from Austrian School-neoliberalism and individualist anarchism.[33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Almost all anarchist movements do not consider anarcho-capitalism to be anarchist because it lacks the historically central anti-capitalist emphasis of anarchism. They also argue that anarchism is incompatible with capitalist structures.[40][41][42][43][44][45] According to several scholars, Anarcho-capitalism lies outside the tradition of the vast majority of anarchist schools of thought and is more closely affiliated with capitalism, right-libertarianism and neoliberalism.[40][46][47][48][49][50] Traditionally, anarchists oppose and reject capitalism, and consider "anarcho-capitalism" to be a contradiction in terms,[51][52][53] although anarcho-capitalists and some right-libertarians consider anarcho-capitalism to be a form of anarchism.[54][55][56][57]

Apparently, it's hot potato in academics; and it's just stupid, for it's an argument about definition. Call it Susan if you like it, just define it. And clearly, "anacrchism" as general term is not exactly friendly term then. People've got to be more specific to be understood correctly.
