@Erik Unironically, not real capitalism. If it's done by force, then it is not capitalism. Why do you think ancaps and other right-libertarians support the non-aggression principle?
@book @Erik Nobody said that there won't be aggression. There will always be aggression, even in a statist or socialist society.
Also, contrary to what movies might tell you, the Wild West was actually less violent than the eastern United States. Private security kept law and order just fine.
