Privatise everything.

In light of recent discoveries that the free market is the perfect economic system, we must work to privatise everything for freedom.

Unfortunately everything cannot be privatised at once since the state has made the economy and political system dependant on it's existence, thus these restrictions must be eliminated one by one before the state itself can be privatised. First would be the privatisation of state services such as education, healthcare and social security. After a few years the state should offer contracts to the private sector to fulfil roles almost exclusively monopolised by the state in the past which will include state bureaucracy aswell as minor military, emergency and law enforcement services. During the next decade or so as more and more powers are transferred to the private sector, the state should decrease in size substantially to the point where it will be feasible to privatise local government and finally the courts and central government itself.

We don't privatize everything because we'd be taking a step backwards. Firefighters used to be all private in the olden days. People used to pay a periodic fee to have the emblem of a firehouse on their home. If there was a fire and you didn't have a fire fighting company's emblem on your home, you were screwed. The only other option was volunteer bucket brigades.
Real fire departments like today didn't come into being until the late 1800's.
