The best thing would be to create a zillion voluntary micronations, and watch them compete for your business.
Of the existing nations, places like Singapore or Switzerland would be the lesser evil. It's important to consider both the "vertical size of government" (how much it taxes and bullies you) as well as the "horizontal size" (how voluntary it is). In the latter regard, Swiss cantons and Singapore are a vast improvement over our current empire, "from sea to shining sea". When it comes to nations, the smaller the better.
Just remember that the two are not in conflict. Anarcho-Capitalism / NAP is the operation system and Minarchism is an app to run on top of it. People should be free to create all sorts of voluntary societies under NAP, but Minarchist ones are most likely to attract the top brains & capital, proliferate, and be most successful.
And what kind of a force would break up all of the nation's? What kind of a force would prevent these nation's from coming together?
The question is, what kind of force is holding the nations together in the first place?
The answer is: brainwashing and blind faith.
When a small minority starts debunking the brainwashing and faith in the government, the government is threatened. If they are non-violent and use modern information technology to get their information out (outside of the commie censorship platforms), then martyring them would make the government look bad.
It would at some point be in the politicians' short-term self-interest to let the secessionist activists go, and that would start the crack in the dam...
If Gandhi could do it, so can we.
The main function of the LP was supposed to be selling libertarian books, driving traffic to libertarian sites, etc. Ron Paul did that much better from GOP than the LP did. The real hope was in minority initiatives like the Free State Project, but that's been a massive disappointment...
It's nice to have some leverage over the GOP, especially in the primaries, but only to a point.
Helping commies win is a very bad thing... ?
You use socialist language, including "muh democracy" - as if letting a mob of brainwashed idiots rule over you is somehow a good thing...
What we AnCaps support is individual freedom. In present reality this requires organized defense against communism, which the commies will of course call "fascism".
So, yes, we are all fascists now. Hail Hoppe! ?
Big-L Libertarians are addicted to the idea of the two parties being absolutely positively equally bad. That was true some of the time (ex. Bush, McCain), but clearly it's not true with Trump vs Obama / Biden / Kamala.
I voted LP for most of my life, including in 2016, but Trump earned my vote in 2020 while the LP had lost it. The BLM bootlicking was absolutely disgusting.
The LP should have negotiated with Trump for endorsement. We could have actually gotten some good things out of that, like autonomous free market zones and legal seasteading.
LP has failed to accomplish anything in 2020 other than help the communists. Ron Paul alone has accomplished more by running in GOP primaries (2008 & 2012) than all the LP candidates combined!
A lot Trump supporters are libertarians, they just don't know it yet.
So help me push secession.

Granted, another half of them are absolutist scum
No one on the right is "scum" compared to the left.
They are definitely closer to us on fiscal issues. And social conservatism can be fully compatible with NAP. If they want to ban blasphemy, pot, and abortion in their county (or ideally their private neighborhood) - fine, I'll live somewhere else.
Socialism, on the other hand, can only "work" through massive enslavement, violence, and brainwashing on a global scale. They cannot allow any intergovernmental competition, or their failure would be obvious (ex. North vs South Korea, East vs West Germany, etc, etc, etc). The left will always slide into tyranny until the whole world is a North Korea from which there's no hope of escape!
I hope you like the U.S. the way it is right now because it is fascist.
You should be more precise in your words.
All existing nations have some degree of mixed economy, from the highest in relative economic freedom (Singapore, Hong Kong, Switzerland, New Zealand) to the lowest (Cuba, North Korea). So by some definitions of "fascist" - everything is "fascist". And the commies use that word to describe absolutely everything they don't like...
We are talking about relative degrees of various kinds of freedom: Property Rights, Free Speech, Free Exit, etc. Communism was the worst at this, with Stolypin / Mussolini / Hitler / Pinochet / Franco / Suharto / etc ranking relatively better.
Spike Cohen - helping the communists defeat Trump...

Should have negotiated a deal with Trump to allow autonomous zones / seasteads in exchange for our votes...
I wish intelligent people didn't use the word "fascism" as the worst possible system of governance. It isn't.
Fascism should be more properly called anti-communism. Those ideas actually started with the White Movement (against the Reds) during the Russian Civil War, then spread with émigrés fleeing communism to the West, and then to Italy, Germany, Spain, etc.
WW2 was all about the Soviet Union preparing to take over the world - a fact that your socialist teachers have suppressed from you. Everything the Anti-Comintern Pact did (including trying to out-manipulate Stalin through diplomacy) was to resist the Communist World Revolution.
FDR's siding with the commies was a period of absolute insanity in US foreign policy, which fortunately has corrected since 1950s. All the so-called "fascist" (anti-communist authoritarian pragmatist) governments all over the world have been US allies ever since.
I don't think it'll work without enough disliking the state and looking for peaceful alternatives. Though Look at the Donald. Over the last month they've grown to dislikethe state. The state has truly been revealing itself.
Which is why now is precisely the time to push secession!
What is in place to prevent the sheep mind virus from spreading in the individualist system?
Socialism has always been dependent on a "loser class" for active and passive support. In the 19th century that was the "working class", but it's been gradually replaced by the "mooching classes" of the present day (welfare bums, government employees, etc). They may be the majority of the population, but they don't produce much in terms of actual competitive value - a fact that they are very unlikely to admit, which only makes them weaker.
Economic and personal freedom appeals to the "best and brightest", and they will be the foundation of new libertarian micronations that are to come. We need to create our own Internet platforms, educational and cultural institutions, etc. The socialist lies, no matter how numerous and loud, will all fall shallow when forced to compete with the truth on the basis of intellectual merit.
Socialism was able to proliferate over the past century by enslaving vast amounts of people, keeping them in ignorance, and preventing them (especially the best and brightest) from escaping. They can censor communist platforms, but they cannot censor us. Other emerging technologies will further limit their ability to "Waco" persistent peaceful secessionists who just want their freedom.
Governments will be forced to let the troublemakers go, lest ever-more of their sheep become corrupted by the desire for freedom. There's plenty of willing sheep for them to hold on to, but all the brains and capital will find a way to escape them. "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." Socialist nations will shrink and fragment, while freer ones will grow and multiply.
Without stolen money to bribe their supporters, and with increasingly limited ability to use force, the socialist mind-virus is going to have a very hard time...
You're begging the question "how would the presence of 'sheep' inhibit the success of voluntaryist systems?
The left-wing riots that we've just seen (including BLM, Antifa, etc) are a very expressive example. Imagine what would happen if their government checks went down to zero! And all the government-dependent "intellectuals" (college professors, politicians, lawyers, corrupt business cronies, etc) would lead them...
The only way to freedom is secession - to build voluntary new nations, focusing on quality of people rather their quantity. There should be myriads of competing start-up micronations (on land, seasteading, and eventually space-stations), each with its own membership criteria and contractual rules.
Being forced to live under socialism, with all brains and capital seceding from them, is exactly the punishment that the socialists deserve.
Anarcho-Capitalism is a meta-platform for voluntary systems of governance.
We have no right to dictate to the sheep that they must abandon their collectivist Mommy Governments. If they claim to consent to it, and won't be persuaded - that is their problem. We just need to secede and create better alternatives.
We already have examples of Anarcho-Capitalism where the "horizontal size" of government is rather small (that is high freedom to leave), even if the "vertical size" of government (how much it taxes, spends, or interferes) is rather large. Take Liechtenstein or even Singapore for example: you can think of it as a large voluntary neighborhood, where you sign a contract to move there, and you are free to leave any time you want.
An Anarcho-Capitalist world is one where there are millions of nations instead of hundreds, with many new ones being started up every day. All big countries like USA, China, India, Russia, Ukraine, etc need to be broken up. I advocate #Rexit, Republican County Secession for USA - the Donald people might not like that, but that's the only way to avoid being ruled by commies. There would also be secession of Native American sovereign lands, etc. But the most interesting means of creating new nations in the 21st century is seasteading (and eventually spacesteading as well).
And so people will be free to vote with their feet. The sheep will have their sheep neighborhoods, and people who want more individual freedom will have something very different.
I'm going to move into a far-far-right voluntary neighborhood where everyone is contractually obligated to be an extremist prude that would make Queen Victoria seem like a whore in comparison.
