I'm also wondering what happens in those grey area situations. The ones where, if you take a person's life, some people will say it's murder and other will say it was a legitimate action.
What happens when half the population "shuns" you as an outcast and the other half hails you as a hero?
Without a centralized penal system how do we determine what justice, if any, needs to be dealt?

About half of people's earnings go to government, so people with have a lot of extra capital that they wouldn't have in a statist environment that they could put into security products and services.

Disputes can be solved by private DROs, whether that be in courts or some other form, keep in mind that the current 'law' is north of 100,000 rules and and regulations; So complicated you need to spend a fortune in legal specialists just to decode the state's super confusing, complicated and contradictory language. In this current 'justice' system, the richer person has a much better chance of winning the case since just understanding the law is an art in itself, the most expensive and skilled lawyer will probably win.

In an anarchic society were laws are settled in private court, the law would be fairly simple, Did x initiate force to y? Did x commit fraud to y?. And that's all that would need to be established essentially.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
