“Imagine a society where a government no longer monopolizes law enforcement. In this social arrangement, the responsibility for community safety shifts. Because nature abhors vacuums — and criminals love ‘em — private firms, clubs, and mutual aid societies will step in. Such is life in New America, where a decentralized network of private protection firms has replaced traditional monopoly police forces in some territory. At first, this might seem chaotic or unworkable: How on earth could a society function without a centralized authority to enforce the law? New Americans have built a system that works, driven by market competition, accountability, and self-sovereign choices.” (02/27/25)
