You sound like a libertarian.

If societies under the rule of the state are dystopias, what are societies without the state? Do we prefer Mad Max and bandits?

Libertarians still support the existence of the state (even if it’s a hollow shell of what most nation-states are now). Seeing the very existence of the state as being dystopian is anarchist.

You've heard it here first: libertarianism means supporting Mad Max bandit kleptocracy.
