Enforcement doesn't have to be violent and it doesn't have to be a monopoly. We each check the npub in our client. The client says, yep that npub who signed that message signed this profile saying this is who they are.
I think the most effective enforcement is nonviolent ostracization. Bitcoin does this with anyone that's mining an old fork. Ok, knock yourself out, but that's not my chain.
You see things like this, mostly, at the geopolitical level. Each agent being a sovereign and anarchistic entity. They don't use violence on each other. War costs too much to rely on violence at this level.
They threaten removal from trade arrangements, tariffs or refusal to associate to accept transactions over the boundaries. Cyph3rp9nk (npub1lnm…rrnt) and I and other libertarians and anarchists, simply argue that this is how individuals should be treated. As sovereign. Each should be so costly to attack with violence that you must use legitimate voluntary association type responses to incentivize cooperation over conflict.
