The thinking that 'the market' will magically provide any 'service' is just magical thinking. Wishful thinking. Apparently you are pretending that you don't realize that an actual "killing" is necessary for AP to do its job. The real issue is deterrence. People will indeed change their behavior if to continue it means that they would eventually be killed. 3) the list of problems is prolly (a lot) longer. Those two are just off the to of my head. Since you are probably wrong, maybe you ought to list them on the political side : > tyrannicide is fully legitimate and useful, but the idea that AP is an option for a liberal justice system is sheer nonsense, as illustrasted by Jim's 'idea' of executing thieves. Interestingly, one episode of Star Trek Next Generation addressed this. Its legal system recognized only one punishment: Death. But the probability of actually enforcing the rules varied.

B^). Read David Friedman [2]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_D._Friedman and his 1973 book, The Machinery of Freedom, and specifically "The Hard Problem". [3]https://voluntaristicsociety.liberty.me/national-defense-t he-hard-problem/ People who claim they want 'anarchy' (many so-called 'anarchists' are merely Communists, socialists, or other types of leftist nuts) probably don't realize that David Friedman stated this problem quite well. Nobody else found the solution. Independently I was aware of that problem, but was unaware of Friedman's existence, his book, or the name "The Hard Problem". In January 1995, I solved the problem. Using AP, a region run under principles of anarchy can defeat the governments and militaries of conventional nations. Not only that, I quickly realized that this effect is inevitable: No government can survive the onslaught of AP donations. Even the citizens of conventional states can defeat their own government, just as effectively.
