>What can anything do for you if you are killed? I don't understand the relevance.

What is to keep someone from killing me to get their way? Private insurance? Are they going to go to war for me after I'm dead?

>What if you can't afford the fees associated with litigation in the government court system?

Well, if the conflict 'resolution' involves the other party resorting to violence or theft, I can turn the matter over to the into the State whether I can pay for it or not. There are hard limits placed on how far the other party can go in getting what they want.

>violence is expensive

I don't see how violence is expensive. Violence is cheap. Bullets don't cost much. Rocks are even cheaper.

In fact, violence can be very profitable. Got $10 in your pocket? Just paid for my bullet and then some. Got a $30,000 car? Well now, that should pay for a few rounds.

What you propose is a fantasy, pure and simple. And not even a very plausible one.
