You know what I'm asking, and you know the judicial system cannot enforce law, they can only pass judgement on it. Enforcement requires force. What provides the necessary force to either keep people from or hold people accountable for rape, murder, burglary, theft, assault, etc.

Who even gets someone into a courtroom for the judicial system to make judgement?

The attempts to evade such a ridiculously simple question shows why this ideology is not worth considering until those who believe it actually consider it themselves.

And to be perfectly clear, I was (and still am) wanting a legitimate answer to the question. Maybe I'm missing something? Maybe some think social pressure would work in absence of force. Maybe some believe in the equality of "rich people already do it undeterred, so poor people should be able to as well." Maybe... what? Vigilantes? I don't know. Perhaps I lack the unbridled faith in humanity that leads people to believe in a world without any enforcement of law, or the imagination to come up with some form of law enforcement without a force that upholds law. But nobody else has offered anything, so what am I to do but speculate?

Is that humble enough?
