Name one anarchist civilization that has created sophisticated road networks, even in antiquity?

"Wenzhou has become one of the richest cities in China under a regulatory regime that borders on anarchism.... for the last 30 years, private citizens in this southeastern China metropolis have largely taken over one of the least questioned prerogatives of governments the world over: infrastructure."[1]

The stagecoach roads of the American West? (Often un-deeded right-of-ways through private lands, many now home to paved roads.)

I acknowledge that absence of government hasn't worked well during history. However, what I'm saying (perhaps in fact the whole point) is that we are leaving the period called history and entering a very different space, as evidenced by the rapidity of the internet.

In other words, I assert that the time for peace without government is ahead, not behind.
