We had this discussion before and I, an anarchist, was very explicit that Self Defense and RESTITUTION are preferable to the Revenge of Retribution and Retaliation. And it seemed to work quite well for the Viking and early Saxon cultures before being replaced by what we have now.
I also mentioned the excellent book on the subject, The Enterprise of Law--Justice without the State by Bruce L. Benson. Mises.org at http://mises.org/literature.aspx?action=search&q=THE%20ENTERPRISE%20OF%2\ 0LAW <http://mises.org/literature.aspx?action=search&q=THE%20ENTERPRISE%20OF%\ 20LAW> even has it available as a pdf: http://mises.org/journals/rae/pdf/RAE6_1_5.pdf <http://mises.org/journals/rae/pdf/RAE6_1_5.pdf> There is NO JUSTICE WITHOUT RESTITUTION.
