 Death to the state! 
 How would that last one be implemented? Honest question. 
 Polycentric legal systems  
 Thanks, will check it out. 
 Multisig + arbitration is great for contract enforcement - that take scare of most private law.

You can also do insurance with multisig - that takes care of victim restitution which should be 90% of criminal law.

That just leaves 10% of criminal law which is non-economic punishment. There are some theories on how to do that in a decentralised way... even some historical examples. 
 Thanks for the thorough explanation 
 unfortunately, state IS law 
 False, The Law is apriori to the state. 
 how so? laws are written by the ruling class to legitimize their oppression of the citizens. 
 A sufficiently oppressed citizenry will revolt. Ruler and subject are always in a power balance.
The universal law preceeds written law and is what all other laws are derived from.  
 Huh? North Korea, Russia, Iran, Afganistan, Turkey, Cuba, Venesuela, the list goes on. The state's law enforcement is just too strong and squashes any dissent at source. There is no balance. Most other countries are ruled by an illusion of freedom. What universal law? God? Been to islamic states? That's even worse. Laws is invented by state to oppress. 
 I guarantee, on an individual level, for a randomly selected person, people in Islamic states, in NK, Russia even, interact and are subject to far FEWER laws than all the countries you did not name. 

In these socieites, the elites and rulers are often directly related to the people by blood. 

You are confusing international politics and your own cultures propaganda with day to day reality.

For example: in Afghanistan, as a stranger , if you were traveling and went on someones land to sleep for a few days, they would invite you to tea, you would make new friends.

In America they would shoot you first and file a police report later. Just the concept and system around land being private property being different, means fewer laws.


  
 Death to the state! 
 You sayin' that law should be global? Like one set of laws to rule them all?

Who makes the laws? 💩 
 There *is* only one global, universal law.  
 The first global law of the universe is: there is no global law of the universe.

The second global law of the universe is: see the first global law of the universe.  
 Laws aren't "created", they are discovered in a spontaneous process  
 We have the tech for this.

Open multisig contracts with arbitrator.

 But who will build the court houses??? 
 Who will shoot the dogs  ? 
 Private provision of Law is morally superior, more efficient, more flexible and better in every way than centralised state law.

 The state is glorified housekeeping 
 Last step should say: non-existant State
