No, you never had that liberty in the first place. You had the freedom, but not liberty. Liberty is free actions wrt rights.

At which point who is deciding these liberties in the first place? And how would they be defended? Presumably you would either be sitting around with a shotgun trying to protect everything you have or there would be some sort of organization set up that you could pay into for protection. Since you’d need to have large groups of people to agree on which liberties we have and which we don’t in order for such a mercenary protection force to be able to act without being a group of crazed vigilantes all of a sudden you end up having a government and police force.

Certainly if one financial power started to take over multiple sectors of such aid, for example they simply decided to branch out from mercenary forces to medical practices, transportation and fire prevention services. Now they charge people within their ability to provide these services a monthly fee for these services, and of course being a corporation their customers could go to shareholder meetings to vote on the direction of the company and all of a sudden they’re a government Log in to see images!

So far I’m pretty much being convinced that government IS a business and as such anarchocapitalism is doomed to failure and a return to the status quo.
