I always go with the guy with the guns, or the guy who owns the guy with the guns.

Yep, that would for a really pretty society, one for which posterity would surely thank us. The abandonment of civilization is surely something to which we should aspire.

You must live a very sheltered life to already live in such a pretty society and yet not know it. Force is a necessary part of maintaining the synthetic construct of property rights. If you like capitalism, you should love violence and the threat thereof, the two have done so much for each other.

I cannot imagine a successful, large scale society with any other basis

Your lack of imagination does not constitute an affirmation of the natural virtues of capitalism, it just illustrates that you lack imagination. What's the weather like in the 19th century?
