Zapatistas have their own functioning healthcare system, their own clinics, doctors, etc.

Mutual Aid for defense is fine and normal. The Second Amendment exists partly so that people can self-organize violent defense.

Rojava and MAREZ both have functioning justice systems based on a jury of your peers (See heading 'Justice System' here).

And there are many many examples of indigenous justice systems in stateless societies. You think murderers weren't punished by their peers before the state?

The bulk of Kropotkin's book on Mutual Aid is concerned with listing various example of defense/justice/organized force governed by Mutual Aid principles.
