Do you suggest we return to the original caveman idea? he with the biggest club is the boss.
Might is right, no matter how wrong it is?

How is that different from how governments act today? Isn't democracy just "we have more who agree with us, so shut up and obey"? Isn't international policy governed by military and monetary might?
What is the alternative?
There must an attraction to make people want to do things that take time, for example, would you like to have a broken arm and nobody could be bothered to fix it for you? would you like the person you finally convinced to have set a bone before? or do you want to be his first attempt? there must be some incentive for somebody to spent the time learning how to do the job properly if you are going to continue working and feeding your self.
Yes, there is a market demand for various services currently monopolized by the State. That in no way justifies the government monopoly, or demonstrates any efficiency or ethical claim. Meanwhile, all around us, we have the market as an alternative example for voluntary order. It is as invisible as air if you aren't looking for it.
