No. Not everyone. But 3% of the population doing it is enough to make most people want to collectivize their resources and pay for comprehensive security.

Wrong. Why don't you show how collectivised security (i.e. coercively funded monopoly security) can possibly be more effective than competitive security. All you have to do is show that monopoly is better than competition, that central planning is better than decentralized planning, and that theft and coercion are necessary so that you won't have theft and coercion. That should be easy enough. And then we can all implement your communist Utopia, since if you can show any of that for security, it should apply to any other good or service.

Oh, wait, here comes the part where security is magically "different".
