Privatizing everything including the armed forces and police is the Anarchists platform. There would be no taxes because there would be no government.
Limiting the government to only protecting against force and fraud is the big L Libertarian platform. There would be no involuntary taxes. This may be possible, I forget how the debates on it went. The government may need voluntary taxes, user fees?? not sure.
Privatizing what can be, user fees for what can not, and the bare minimum highly visible least evil taxes for what is necessary is the little l libertarian platform. This is the what the Libertarian party is. You this thread went deep into big L and even Anarchist territory.
BigG: If NAP does not work, then how does common law rape-murder-robbery being wrong work? Both have the exact same flaw, bad guys will do it despite society being against it. Everyone knows it is wrong, our society lives by it, and we do just fine despite a few criminals that we work to lock up.
In response to the topic: Why didn't blacks move away from whites that did not like them? Why did the Jews stay in places through history where they were not wanted? People do not leave just because they do not fit in, and being isolated is not fun, nor is a good long term plan. I also doubt there are any islands big enough to move thousands of people to live happily, and with the needed resources for independence.
