Three Forms Of Voluntary Policing

The questions as to who is the cop in an anarchist state is simple: you are.  If you are aggrieved, you take it up with your adversary.  If still aggrieved, you take it up with the community.  The community will decide if they care of not, and shun the perpetrator to some degree.  We have three entities that do this...

The Law Merchant is an ancient private code of conduct among merchants.  States have adopted it because it is better that anything a state can contrive.

The gypsys have their own legal system, which is private.  

Diamond merchants have a self-regulation system that has worked for centuries.

The oldest and largest organization in the world has a legal system that is entirely voluntary, the Catholic Church.

Anarchy is not lawlessness, or no government, it means no king (or today, state).  Anarchy works.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
