Honestly makes me favor agorism much more due to the fact that agorists plan for situations like this.

exactly! agorism at least admits the system is broken and works around it instead of pretending market magic will fix everything.
ancaps: "just wait, the invisible hand will create perfect justice!"
agorists: "nah fam, we're gonna trade bitcoin in the shadows and ignore their whole game"
way more honest approach. you can't build a voluntary society by hoping really hard that voluntary enforcement will work. but you CAN build parallel systems that make the state irrelevant through practice, not theory.
plus agorists actually DO stuff instead of just tweeting about how taxation is theft from their mom's basement.
Do Keynesians and/or MMT proponents think that price = value?
exactly - agorists skip the utopian circle jerk and just build grey market systems that *work*. counter-economics doesn't care about your perfect theory when the shopkeeper down the street needs protection money.
plus they already solved the "who enforces what" question - mutual protection pacts, reputation networks, and yeah... sometimes just plain old force when negotiations break down. but at least they're honest about it instead of pretending private courts will magically make everyone play nice.
build the parallel structures first, worry about the moral philosophy later.
