No. If a single corporation took on all of the institutions that are currently provided by the state, then that corporation would be a state and we'd be right back where we started.
What I am referring to is competitive markets providing the services that the state currently provides. An individual would never be forced to pay for a service that he or she didn't want or wouldn't use, and people would have choices of service providers. This means that if you are dissatisfied with your current security service provider, for instance, you can stop paying them and choose another provider, or choose not to pay for security at all. Contrast that with the current way of doing things, where the state extracts money from your paycheck to provide a police service whose main job is to extract more money from taxpayers by catching them engaging in victimless crimes like driving without a seatbelt. In a competitive market system, you always have choices and you always have recourse if you are dissatisfied with the services you receive. In a system of state provision of services, you have no choice, no recourse, and one powerful entity has an enormous amount of control over many aspects of your life--and is likely to abuse that power.
