If "publically funded" means "government funded" then yes I agree that can work (but that goes against the anarchist philosophy).That's what I meant.

I think they underestimate the effect of "I'll only pay if my neighbor pays too", which only a government can leverage.
Maybe anarchists think that others over-estimate the number of times such issues will come up? And that others under-estimate the ability of people to provide themselves with what they truly need, when not harassed by government and hamstrung by property?
