May I refer you to David D. Friedman and Murray Rothbard for explanations of how public property would be so much better off as private property and how protection can be both private and optional? I mean you can disagree after reading it, but at least you wouldn't say there's no alternative.

Sure, and thanks. I'm not very well-read in economy but am working on it.

Do you have anything specific of theirs in mind?
