In all seriousness, though, I once got a Rothbard-worshiping left anarchist to acknowledge that a temporary coalition government would probably have to form to deal with an imminent asteroid strike, and I consider that a major victory.

I don't see why. All the collectives and syndicates would be like "oh shit, asteroid" and start pumping resources to scientists that could fix it. Maybe we'd need food rationing, but it's unlikely since farms can't really be converted to steel mills instantly. Unless you're Mao and it fails terribly.
