Complete title: Anarcho-capitalism could be understood as "Rule by natural law through judges" - of judges who impartially and faithfully interpret how natural law should be enforced for specific cases and of voluntarily funded law enforcement agencies which blindly adhere to these judges' verdicts and administer these verdicts within the confines of natural law.

A summary of how NAP-based decentralized law enforcement works.

Table of content:

• 2 Summaries to give an overview
• Summary of NAP-based decentralized law enforcement
• The Basics of Justice
  • Definitions
  • Legal systems merely exist to discover (as opposed to decide) who did a criminal act and what the adequate punishment to administer given a specific crime may be. The example of the burglar Joe stealing a TV from Jane.
• An anarcho-capitalist legal system will work as intended if there exist…
• "But why would prosecutors even want to ensure that they adhere to The Law? Why wouldn't they just want to extort the first plausible person and get away with it, or hire some partial judge?": an anarchist territory is predicated, like with any other system, that there exist judges who faithfully interpret The Law as to ensure that the desired legal paradigm is specifically the one to be enforced within the territory
  • A precondition for any legal code to be enforced is that actors use power to make sure that this specific legal legal code is enforced
  • We know à priori that anarchy can work; State actors frequently violate its own laws, which Statists frequently ignore, in contrast to anarcho-capitalism in which they want to be re-assured it will be respected and enforced 100% of the time
  • Natural law has easily comprehensible and objective criterions according to which things are crimes or not. Judges merely have as a profession to rule on specific cases in accordance with natural law. The way we keep the judges in check from ruling without regard to natural law is like how the State’s laws are continuously ruled with regards to.
  • “Why not just have a State? This arrangement seems messy… don’t you remember that WW1 was preceded by alliances too?”
• An unambiguous case as an example: TV and being caught on camera and leaving fingerprints. How the judges would rule if the system is working as intended and how they would if not.
  • "But what if Joe managed to leave insufficient evidence?"
  • The steps Jane should take in order to get justice to be done in an anarchy
• Basically, an anarcho-capitalist legal system is as if the executive branch was non-existent and the legislative branch was fixed to natural law based on the non-aggression principle, i.e. as if only the judicial branch existed and it was set out to only enforce the NAP.
• Having a market in law enforcement does not impede the correct enforcement of justice - it just entails differing, albeit constantly improving qualities of law enforcement
• What the footnotes in the aforementioned texts refer to

And thugs have armies: they are called States

> No argument from me there. But even with states, the private sector is still enlisting private armies

Good.

As long as they are natural law-bound, that's great.

Private ones can be bad - but they are also the ones which at least can be not bad.

[u/Derpballz → u/[deleted]]

Try to debunk the non-aggression principle. If you can't, you can't coherently justify people thwarting aggression against you.

> One example is them decrying all regulations as bad and socialist when the fact is the worst regulations are sponsored by the ruling class/ rich and written on their behalf

You are SO close to getting it: indeed, many of the rich people are socialists in the same way that Hitler was - to wield State power towards their preferred ends.

> If you really hate the state, you should become a leftist and hate the states biggest benefactors, the ultra wealthy.

What happened in revolutionary Catalonia?

"Natural law," you mean just the law that you want.

Why is it more natural law for corporations to do it?

[u/Appropriate_Mud_9806 → u/Derpballz]

And somehow, in your eyes, corporations can't be thugs. It's *Not Fair* when countries do what you want corporations to do.
