It's time to start the conversation about Private Production of Defense.[1] Without competitive forces coming to bear upon the monopoly enjoyed by the law enforcement and judicial systems, we will see ever-increasing rights violations with no recourse from the citizens.
Ending the War on Drugs is a great step in the right direction and make sense any way you look at it, but it will not end the systematic abuses of power perpetrated by the State.
