Second, to argue force is necessary to maintain organization is foolish and easily demonstrated to be false. 1 billion people, more than any government other than China, are Catholics, accepting Catholics rules and living their lives accordingly, without anyone using violence to make them be Catholics. Every day hundreds of millions of people voluntarily uses services like Amazon, Google, and Uber to organize their lives, all without compulsion. Amazon alone employs more than 350,000 people, all who voluntarily agree to work for the company and follow its rules without compulsion. In fact, most everything you do, you do with a startling lack of violent force.
Society organizes it self without the State. This is something we all recognize. Going back to Locke he argued that rights, liberty, and order pre-exist the government and government is instituted by people voluntarily to protect their rights. Everything the State is supposed to provide actually pre-exist the State and provides the structure through which the State functions. The State is nothing more than a leech stealing your rights and selling them back to you. It tells you that you cannot drive without its licenses, eat without its testing, or live without its housing regulations. All so it can justify the lie that you need it.
Third, perhaps you do not understand the term "voluntary." All organizations that are voluntary are voluntary, no matter if they have a well organized leadership or not. Again, you can choose to be Catholic, or you could become a Buddhist, Mormon, Zoroastrian, or even Atheist. There are many to choose from, or you could choose none at all. Some of those are highly organized -like Mormonism and Catholicism- and some are not -like Atheism and Buddhism. But they are all voluntary.
You also seem to be one of those who argue that any amount fo social disapproval is coercion and would equate social ostracization with violence. This si false and is a conflation of separate ideas. Coercion is:
Notice what the singular element in those definitions is? The use of violence to force others to obey. It is not the refusal to associate or trade with. That my actions may result in being cut off from whatever current society I am in does not equate to coercion. Coercion is violence. Voluntaryism is not.
And finally, you are the only one ignoring the nature of man. You imagine a world where you can give men the power to abuse, beat, steal from, rape, torture, and kill others and expect him to not do it just because you wrote the equivalent of "be good" on a piece of paper. It is laughably naive. Statism is a Utopian fantasy that can only be accepted as a belief when the believer is totally ignorant of human nature and human history, which is fully of the tyranny and terror that is the inevitable result of statism.
