The free market already has a solution for that, its call private/community security.
Whose going to be paying for all that and what would be the difference if we pay that through taxes or out of pocketed income.

The difference is that private security companies would be voluntary, and you wouldn't necessarily need to hire them. You can't turn down the "services" of the government, though. They are compulsory.
That only works if you have enough volunteers. Most people work and don't want to come home to do voluntary security patrols. There will also be people who will take advantage in gang controlled areas...how do you think the folks that live in those area's are going to feel when the gangs run out the volunteers. Just way to many different scenario's that would play out to make such a endeavor impossible.
Voluntary does not mean done by volunteers... It means done without using coercion and the threat of force.
The only difference from the society we live in today, and a voluntary society is "Taxation is Theft." Thats the only difference, please read Adams 100 page book if you still don't understand.
I see lots of societies with taxation, that are doing OK. Some are thriving.
I don't see any society working without taxation? Any idea why? Have you thought deeply about what your utopia would really be like?
If your utopia is so wonderful and so obvious, why doesn't it exist already?
Taxation isn't theft if you have representation. Do some research on the system in Switzerland for taxing. Still theft in your view?
No one but you thinks that it will be utopia, a free society will have plenty of struggle and chaos. Life itself creates challenges we all must face in an ever changing world. Maintaining the status quo creates more violence because humanity is constantly improving and evolving.
Show me a civilization that has survived/maintained totalitarian control forever. Empires always fall, usually for the same reason. Freedom! Thomas Jefferson knew there would be revolution every time power and control over reached its limits.
The swiss tax system full of holes just like its cheese. 35% income tax that if you don't pay you go to jail... Yup still theft.
Societies do not thrive because of taxes, they thrive because of markets.
To think that widespread parasitic disease is necessary to the health of an ecosystem is rather absurd.
