Ultimately, the idea everyone can work together to enforce their own ideas of rules and order on people is basically reinventing the police from first principles, even if their motives are good (which they're often not; often, it means stifling dissenting ideas)
It reminds me of the old concept of "posse comitatus," the cops before the cops, who dispensed mob justice... which was usually victor's justice instead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_comitatus
