This is just yarn spinning. Stuff you like is good. Stuff you don't like is bad, and you fit the adjectives to the story. I dare say those hippies in Seattle were fans of your Lockian ideal too, they just used different words. And likewise trying to replace police with this private goon squad[1] looks an awful lot like "tearing down existing institutions" to people like me who think it's a shit idea.

That's not an argument, essentially. Words don't make truth. Either this trick is going to make people safer or it's going to get someone killed.

[1] See what I did there? Words are fun!
