And your very last point is based on the social contract argument. The problem is that there is not way to actually opt out of the system in place.

Not exactly, but again.... If you did "opt out" you'd still receive all the benefits the rest of us are paying for. Effectively stealing those services.

So you can either pay for others to use the service, or not have it at all. So your neighbor gets to define your choices in his personal best interest. Yeah, so much different from government. Well, it is... In that any individual can have a negative impact by forcing you to pay for him or go without.

Telos, you are ignoring competition in a free market. In our current systems governments have monopolies on many vital services. In a free market, without government, competition would be the best form of regulation. You literally HAVE to provide good service or face losing your customers. In government monopolies there is no such regulation. They have the monopoly on force too.
