The problem is that jealousy revolves around assuming that for wealthy people to exist, poverty "must" exist in tandem. However, it isn't as Zero Sum as they think, because the Lower, Middle, and Upper classes are becoming more wealthier than ever before in the history of humanity. The economy is not "Zero Sum", it is Positive Sum.
How can one fix jealousy without wealth distribution?

I don't think its possible do so at all. Really the main reason I'm not an ancap - There are too many jealous people who would wish to destroy what we built.
So, i say, get the jump on them and create a government with no official powers besides reacting to violations first. It would be harder to change that than to create their authoritarian one from scratch in the power vacuume.

If someone tries to destroy what you've built why not shoot them in the face? That will put an end to it.

We'd love to have you. Freedom is hard to come by these days.
Because incidents of violence would only be used to rally more statists. Maybe even nations.
Think Vietnam War - The US went to go "save" them and instill "freedom and democracy".
Am I correct in assuming that in this hypothetical scenario that anarcho-capitalism had already been achieved somewhere on Earth?
Because incidents of violence would only be used to rally more statists. Maybe even nations.
If the above assumption is true, why do you believe that defending your own property would be interpreted as "incidents of violence"? Furthermore, why would an external nation state even be aware that you defended yourself?
I guess I don't understand the premise here.
When i said

I wasn't referring to single individuals. A lone asshole is no threat.
I mean organizations both within and outside, and, as i mentioned before, nations who notice this ancap country.
You can't cure it to begin with.

It's all a out the social psyche, zeitgeist whatever you want to call it.
If people see themselves as masters of their own circumstance rather than victims then there will be non of that mentality about blaming others for your own situation and more of taking life by the bull horns.
Unfortunately who knows what determines between the two ways of seeing the world. It might just be down to individual personality. But no idea.
