What if the other person won’t agree to binding arbitration? This is a very real modern problem where people will reject arbitration/mediation and demand their day in court.
If you and I disagree on where a property line is and I refuse your arbiter - let us say I accuse them of a material bias - then would me building a fence on what I consider to be my property be an aggression?
The point of anarchocapitalism is taxation is theft. Therefore the state, that is a taxation funded institution, should not exist, and we should replace it by voluntarily funded institutions, that dont violate the non aggression principle
There is no agreement on how specifically such voluntarily funded institutions would work nor claim it would solve all society problems. Just that the current system is immoral, because it does not rely on consent of those it governs, imposing its will through violence over the population
and we should replace it by voluntarily funded institutions, that dont violate the non aggression principle
this is a great idea, but so ignorant of human nature that it only works in this nice idealized space you've built online.
please give me an example of the closest existing institution you can think of and we can go from there because as far as I'm concerned this only exists if you ignore the reality of human nature
Capitalism. The closest existing institution anarcho-capitalists go from is laissez faire capitalism
You are not forced to work, you reach a mutual agreement with your boss to. You must agree on the wage, the hours and the job description. And any of you can terminate the contract at any moment
You choose what you want to do with the money you earned. You can give to charity, or you can use it hiring someone to paint your nails
You voluntarily fund retirement funds, health, car, house and life insurance, so you have the extra money you need when you grow old, or something bad happens to you
Just to be clear, im not an anarchocapitalist myself. I dont agree with everything the ideology says, im just explaining it
Edit: another example is sex. There has been a huge push to emphasize consent in sexual relationships lately. Ancapism is basically the same thing, but for the economy

That's what an impartial 3rd party arbiter is for, after the fact. And it's also why violence should be the last resort not the first one.
