How an Airborne Ranger Became a Voluntaryist

I don't believe government is necessary at all.
Anything currently handled by government institutions can be handled better by the free market, including security and arbitration, even punishment if we manage a shift in mass opinion from expecting government to punish those who need punished to realizing it need to be done by the community directly. For example, a private arbitration service could determine that someone is guilty of murder. Instead of expecting a government entity to handle this, the community should execute him directly.

There is no such thing as Private Justice though. Think hard how a Private could ever serve for Impartial Justice? Market Forces? Supply and demand? We already have due process, it requires neither government or their force, it requires Sovereign People electing a Judge to serve under the American Common Law where they are judged by a jury of their peers with the judge only there to offer clarification of the laws and precedents, and ultimately wisdom, but the jury decides unanimously. In a way that itself is governance, yet it's lawful because it's directly voluntary and works from the bottom up, with the judge, the sheriff and the deputies directly working for the Sovereign and never blurring the lines between Master and Servant or they get brought to the justice of the people. Yet it cannot happen without the people, aka militia nd the Jural Assemblies.
