@user-wp5fe8ec6l We already have private police, fire, roads, and ambulances. Many fire departments are volunteers and not paid. Private security is private police as is a neighborhood watch. We even have a private army they were called Blackwater. Private roads are definitely a thing and my town has a private ambulance service aside from the city. It's much cheaper. You can purchase a year's subscription to it and they accept what your insurance pays and have a flat price for those without it. Education wasn't centralized under the federal government until Carter in the 1970s. That's when our world ranking in education started dropping and it continues today.
I realize this is kind of old, but you claim to have lived in various areas yet aren't aware much of what you're questioning how it will work already exists. As for your claims of how violent it would be, we've got huge government and just got out of the most violent period of our history in the late 1990s. Contrary to what movies portray, the "wild" west was less violent than it is now. Even though they didn't really have a centralized government. Each town/community made their own rules. As for your concern for others because the government wouldn't be handing out money to those less fortunate, private local charities have much better success rates than government in that area. That's based on studies. It's because people that live in the same place understand better what is needed for someone to improve their circumstances than a giant government that doesn't know anything about it. It doesn't waste funds like the government either. Right now only 30% of the budget for welfare and food stamps gets to the people. 70% is overhead. If you look back throughout our history, you'll see a drop in outcomes when government gets involved and creates programs to "help". It's expensive and inefficient.
As for business and government working together being right wing, I guess the Democratic party is the real right wing, because that's been happening openly for the last year and still is. In our current political times, it isn't though because all authoritarian government is left (more laws, regulations, huge government) and small government is right wing. Both parties in the US right now are pro big government, so we have no real right wing. That's the problem with trying to use old definitions and concepts and apply them the same way today.
