No, you can't, so I suggest you stop trying to do that. I'm using the common, accepted definitions. You're trying to define "thug" to mean "can't engage in productive endeavors" and "government" to include a coercive element. Neither is commonly accepted. I nobody has absolute freedom in reality, then by your admission, anarchy is impossible and what you want isn't anarchy. Yeah, if we agree on something and I break that agreement, the repercussion is you don't like me. Whoop de shit. I can fleece you as hard as I want until that point. Once you envision a body that will recover your property, you have envisioned a type of government. The problem is you have a very narrow definition of "government". You only see it as a bunch of people "in charge" in a central building making laws by fiat (even though that's pretty reductionist, but then again, you are). It's not always that. Even an ad hoc, informal system of rules and enforcement is a government.
