Even when a few corporations have bought out the entire infrastructure of your city and own the police force, military and law? Or when thugs and dindus have made feeling safe on the streets all but a mere dream?I am not saying they should go fight ISIS. I'm saying that this will allowing corporate entities to own public infrastructure and establish private militaries is a bad idea. They will inevitably establish dominance over geographical areas through ownership and/or military might, allowing them to create monopolies and establish militaristic proto-states. God knows what they will use those militaries to do with 'their' private property.
There is a reason people say anarcho-capitalism will lead to feudalism.

I would love it if businesses took control of the infrastructure. If you don't like that then you should buy your own infrastructure. I would much rather trust businesses with the military because the government has proven to be miserable and oppressive.
