    There’s always a question of where do we draw the line?

    The justice system is a form of government overreach. To be truly free, everyone should be allowed to do absolutely anything, including murder and theft.

    Hmm, doesn’t seem like a good idea. People might infringe on other people’s right to live, or more importantly, their private property. Maybe we should do something about it… Idk, adopt some laws, have police that can arrest you for committing a crime?

    Okay, now we already have a government, but they don’t do a whole lot. Yet to some, this would still be called overreach.

    Ding ding ding, it’s a fire! In your neighborhood! Who’s going to put it out? Well the private firefighters are - IF the owner first sells the house to them for cheap. Otherwise, what’s the point even?

    Wait, shit… Maybe firefighters shouldn’t be private either?

    Anyway, this is all too much for my tiny mind right now. You see, I grew up somewhat poor so I should’ve gone and worked the farms at the age of 7 instead of going to school, which my family shouldn’t have been able to afford under a completely fair, anarcho-capitalist system. Unfortunately, it was free for me - other people suffered and paid taxes so that I could receive free education I didn’t deserve, and the social mobility that comes with it. I now have those peoples’ blood on my hands, for they paid a little bit of income and social taxes.
