If you deeply and sincerely believe that in ANY system under which human beings live that no one will initiate force upon others, then I respect your right to hold that belief.
I also respect and recognize that you are tee-total bugnuts crazy and have as great a talent for guessing wrong about human nature as Marx had for guessing wrong about historical forces.
Human beings cannot be depended upon to be the sort of peaceful, co-operative animals you envision. While I grant you that most people are mostly nice most of the time, the probability that someone under your system (or any system that puts human beings in contact with one another) who happens to be a little bigger or stronger or smarter or greedier than his fellows is going to visit violence upon them approaches unity.
Platonic and Marxist utopias depended upon the State withering away, which isn't going to happen. Koolayvian utopia depends upon human beings behaving like something other than human beings.
Best of luck with that.

Well you don't need to be a perfect human, you can be as greedy and depraved as you want, as long as you do not harm others or violate their property. Free market capitalism is the ultimate co-operation, both parties trade and benefit from the transaction, and no violence is initiated. Violence/Governments are win/lose transactions, ultimately parasitical in nature. Capitalism benefits everyone peacefully.
I am very sceptical to anyone who would try to define human nature, defining human nature is like trying to define the shape of water. Human's by nature, are widely adaptable and constantly changing. Whenever someone says humans are naturally evil, violent, and aggressive - then I just think they are projecting their neurosis.
And even if we say that all humans are naturally aggressive, greedy, evil, whatever then we absolutely MUST NOT have a government, since it is far too dangerous to give aggressive, evil people the legal right and monopoly to violence.
The only freedom, is freedom from illusion.
