There is an overriding theme throughout them all which invalidates them. I'll give you the core concepts and if you are too stupid/lazy to reason what the overriding themes are, ask a question and I will do the thinking for you and write you a nice explanation.
1: Someone will always have more power over others and use it.
2: Without justice, there is no liberty.
3: Political, social, economic and military systems are essentially methods of directing the limited levels of motivation people have to serve a purpose.
4: Different systems influence to different degrees the amount of motivation directed towards their objective and the efficiency in which followers attempt to fulfil the objective.
5: Certain systems require impossible levels of motivation in order to exceed contemporary systems in efficiency.
6: A system is needed to enforce justice, preserve liberty and eliminate tyranny and thus create the environment needed for systems other than a type of tyranny.
Protip: Before replying, ensure that your reply is not already coverred by any combination of 6 of these points.

1. I interact with others all the time and I don't violently dominate them. Controlling others is not an inherent part of interpersonal relations, so #1 is at best true only by the law of averages. Not that agorism has a way of dealing with it.
2. Many people think of a system of courts when you say "justice." I agree with the statement as you put it.
3. It is a neutral fact. Whether it is right or wrong does not depend on the objective.
6. You affirmed that 6 was a nonsequitur and then proceeded as if it were not. I'll assume you think it's not. You didn't address the fact that there is a nonsequitur. So the rest of the response really doesn't warrant a rebuttal, but I will anyways. My reasoning does not come from concepts picked by marx. Nations are collectivistic. They do not make decisisons, people leading them do. Thus, they cannot be self-determining. National sovereignty is not an important or necessary element in developing the environment required for liberty and the implementation of justice. The violent imposition of a democracy violates your definition of justice, "Don't hurt others." Collectivising the victim and criminal into one does not eliminate the crime, it simply hides it. Democracy does not universally represent the population. Nonvoters are not represented.
Agorism is more efficient than capitalism regulated by democracy. This is easy to demonstrate because one can assume almost any economic regulation when assuing democracy, as people are stupid. A minimum wage regulation is an example of such. Vast amounts of empirical and deductive information is available which demonstrates the harm of minimum wage laws. Democracy, in this way reduces economic efficiency. All price distortions caused by economic regulations reduce economic efficiency. All examples of economic regulation share this trait of price distortion. Prices which are not free-floating are distorted. Only an unregulated economy can maximize efficiency.
This applies to the realm of protection and justice as well. Courts can be and are provided on a market basis. Criminal courts are not provided because the existing system prohibits them. Security agencies already exist because the existing one-size-fits-all security arrangement provided by the government is insufficient for some.
It is a waste of time and effort to have a security agency protect me when a $300 shotgun and a silhouette target taped up in the window will protect me better than a security agency at the same price. Waste is the definition of inefficiency. Only I can make the decision as to which offers sufficient protection and a sufficiently low price. Regular patrols are unnecessary and rarely stop crime (criminals wait until there are no police around most of the time). Charging me for protection which is clearly inferior and is far more expensive is inefficient.
Have I demonstrated that agorism is a more efficient replacement for democratic capitalism yet? If you need more, please do ask.
