While the topic about what is PREFERABLE over what we have is important, the end goal should still be a stateless society.
Actually you can. They've done it in Somolia. Under Xeer, the courts are voluntary (civil court, arbitrator of last resort). If you don't like civil judgement you can ignore it. But then the court ends its relationship with you and there is no arbitrator of last resort for you and everyone else, so anyone else can just steel from you without consequence.
The court never does anything violent. The court didn't need violence to organize and give opinions. All it needed to do was to be consistent enough that the people voluntarily choose to view it as an authoritative arbitrator of last resort over someone else.
You don't need criminal law. If there is no victim there is no need for a law. If there is a victim, you can handle it civilly. Criminal law is completely pointless yet ancaps keep trying to come up with private sector versions of it. What's next, private sector taxes, private sector drug laws, private sector nuclear warfare, private sector eminent domain? Private sector cops/criminal law are as useless as all of those things.
"A law is just an opinion with a gun"
Violence isn't the problem. There is righteous violence. It's called self defense. Aggression is the issue, which means attacking or coercing peaceful people specifically.
Righteous violence is not a thing though. Violence is a violation. Defensive force is another matter.
Seriously we need to compromise with evil behavior just a little while longer.
People said the same thing thousands of years ago. The only way evil gets in is compromise. The little evils accumulate into great evils over time. Few people can stomach great evil all at once, but nearly everyone can excuse a little evil for the "Greater Good".
This website is fucking terrible
There aren't enough ancaps here to make it interesting. I don't know why, considering this is one of the few uncensored places we can congregate online. That said, I see very ancap sentiments expressed on the main sites here all the time. People are fed up with government and they can't help but sound like us occasionally. It's a good sign imo. We just need to keep throwing redpills at them.
