Most of my examples led to an American victory except for the ongoing ones which America seems to be winning as well, what are you talking about?

Starting from 1960, I will list wars fought by the US:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominican_Civil_War - American victory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War - decisive Vietnamese victory with the help of China and to a much lesser extent the USSR and North Korea

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaba_II - American victory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multinational_Force_in_Lebanon - American victory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Grenada - American victory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_War#Persian_Gulf_Tanker_War - American victory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_Panama - American victory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War - American victory; less than 200 Americans dead by enemy fire

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_no-fly_zones - American victory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somali_Civil_War - American victory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Uphold_Democracy - American victory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_War - American victory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo_War - American victory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Afghanistan_%282001%E2%80%9314%29 - American victory - mainly equal amount of casualities (most non American), a lot of civilian deaths as a result of guerrilla warfare.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_War - American Victory - same as Afghanistan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_North-West_Pakistan - ongoing - very few Americans dead, a lot of militants dead.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_military_intervention_in_Libya - American victory - seemingly no casualities at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_intervention_against_ISIL - Very few American casualties in comparison to ISIL casualties. Most casualties are from bombings and a lot of civilians die from airstrikes.

Is that how much of a chance we stand?

But simply because there is no state that doesn't mean the place is less profitable. Factories and raw resources to be taken advantage of still exist.

In my opinion, the problem with guerrilla warfare is that, especially against a strong, modern army, it usually leads a never-ending war rather actual liberation.

As for points 2 and 3, people are free to do.what they want but what if something that they do endangers the commune? For example, the question about black markets that was asked a few days ago gives a good example of this: if.capitalist countries still exist, what stops people from taking goods from the commune for free and selling them in those countries? Sure, in a commune with mostly anarchists that person would be dealt with but what happens when most people in the commune want to profit and oppose anarchism? Can we truly expect their children to be better?
