What do you think about the police?

[FlatAssembler]

I thought that, by "forming a state in a libertarian society", you mean the following happens:
1) Crime raises to the level that cannot be controlled simply by everybody being armed. (I see no reason to think that will happen, but let's say so.)
2) Some entrepreneurs start "security companies" that are supposed to help against crime. And people buy into their propaganda. (OK, I guess it's possible. After all, people are buying into egg industry propaganda that they aren't causing superbacteria, which is even more ridiculous than saying that a company can help us against crime.)
3) Those companies start making contracts with each other, effectively forming a monopoly (Really? And not a single company will proclaim itself to protect from other security companies? Like NSA and TOR Project work against each other?).
4) That monopoly starts doing tyrranical things. So, you call it a "state".

Simply because a State exists doesn’t make it tyrannical [note correct spelling]. But I’m glad you agree with me that anarcho-capitalism simply replaces a public State with a private one.

Yeah, it's often said that knowing Latin helps you with spelling. But, first of all, knowing Latin will not at all help you to guess the spelling of Greek words, such as "tyrannical". And even with Latin words, it can often mislead you. The Latin word for "serious" is "serius", without the silent 'o'. Makes some sense when you know the history of French, but it's far from knowing Latin language helping you guess the spelling. And the Latin word for "air" is "aer", and I don't know why it is spelt with 'i' in English. The Latin word for "literature" is "litteratura", with double 't', and I don't know why it's a single 't' in English. And there are many such examples.
