Actually, I've read Rothbard. It was Rothbard that got me into libertarian socialism. He talks a lot about Benjamin Tucker and Lysander Spooner. I read them, then got into Proudhon and Kropotkin through their works. So, technically Rothbard made me a leftist. I really don't like most of Rothbard's ideas (his economics is wrong and his pandering to racists is messed up). However, I do really like the idea of linking protection of persons/property with insurance. My ideas on law-enforcement definitely have some "Rothbardian" influences (although technically the so-called "Rothbardian" aspects in my thought are really rooted more in Benjamin Tucker and left-libertarian theory than in AnCap theory). I am NOT for private police forces though, nor for private courts. So, I like the insurance aspect of individualist anarchist and AnCap law-enforcement theory, but reject the privatization aspect.

What other kind of cops and courts are there?

It might not be your personal fiefdom, but you can bet somebody thinks of it as their own private property.
Ive met many of those.

You could replace cops with communal security services on a rotational basis. You could replace courts with communal arbitration services. Maybe have modified trial by jury without judges.

Perhaps with the end of rule by force the hearts and minds of the masses will become loving and sharing rather than hateful and stingy?
