I'd missed this post earlier...
So nothing with the prefix "anarcho," for the same reason - not possible.
It's interesting that you bring up anarcho-communism, though, since its unrealistic expectations about how people will behave mirror those of anarcho-capitalists. In anarcho-communism, everyone is supposed to work despite not working (and still taking from the common storehouse) being in their material self-interest. It's assumed that ideological zeal will overcome material self-interest. Similarly, in anarcho-capitalism, people in a position to profitably extort the public (i.e. the owners of the private defense agencies) are supposed to choose not to do so, out of respect for libertarian values.

It could be that, with the end of all external threats, some segment of the ruling class is expendable (it need not be that way); and if that's the case, it could be that the result is civil war (it need not be that way). This certainly doesn't show that every state, or even the average state, must fall to pieces on the outbreak of peace. Look at the US. Despite fighting lots of wars, it has no external threats. Almost the entire military establishment is expendable in that respect - yet no civil war and collapse. And, on the other hand, consider how destabilizing war itself is. How many states have collapsed in civil war or revolution as a result of war? Lots.
All states throughout history have had potential enemies to worry about, the U.S. may have weaker neighbors than most but they are still there, and the U.S. is a democracy/republic so the factions can pursue control of the state by means other than civil war.
And with world government the urge to seize it all or to break off their own hunk would be massively greater.

Why create a government with no means in place for funding it? Especially if a major function of it is for common security?
What if a few minutes after putting the Constitution together, every stopped and said "He waitaminute, Taxation is theft." and then an unfunded government fizzled out.
As for the justness of Taxing people, the people deserve a say in it through their Representatives and it should not be either to high or squandered.
No one has to be my slave in order to provide my security.
Why does someone have to be your slave to provide for your security?
