I oppose anarcho-capitalism because of the instability it would induce into society. CMV

My main issue lies with a privatized police force. There is no difference between the mafias of the Prohibition and a privatized police force.

A common counterargument to this is that citizens would have many police forces to choose from, but citizens supposedly also had a choice in the Prohibition, except that they were beaten to obedience whenever they tried to switch.

Another counterargument I can think of is that the government already acts like this to a certain extent with regards to taxes; if you don't pay a mandatory payment, you go to jail. I won't deny this. The government and a mafia are very similar. What discerns them, however, is that the government obeys a distinct set of laws. There's more to this, I'll finish later.

Why do they do this? Because the government is made up of nicer people than mafias are? Do people automatically become nicer when you put them into a _monopolistic_ enforcement agency as opposed to a non-monopolistic one?
