Anarcho-Capitalism
Delete the state. Keep the market.
Anarcho-capitalists want to abolish the state entirely and let the market provide everything, including police, courts and defence. Private security companies and private judges would compete for customers, and every deal would rest on voluntary contracts and private property.
What they'd say
The state is just a monopoly on violence.
If it's worth having, someone will sell it.
Competition works for courts too.

Where it gets messy
Critics say competing security firms would turn into warlords, or into a new state. Left-wing anarchists say private property is its own hierarchy.
