But this is not the definition of "government" that most
anarcho-capitalist/agorists use. All we want is to have
a purely voluntary system, whereby someone could
choose to use or not use any service from any one
or more competitors. That is to say, we want the
absence of legalized initiation of force. If someone
calls themselves an anarchocapitalist, and doesn't
agree, lemme know. :)

In a pure free market, one maximizes one's own
benefit by *helping* others, rather than at their
expense, even though the form is one of
competition.
