You cannot name any example of where there has been enduring wealth and prosperity without the security and rule of law that only government can provide.
In all of human history it has never existed - except in the deluded daydreams of Libertarian anarchists.

Security doesn't come from government, it comes from self-defense.
Law doesn't come from government, it comes from Almighty God.
All examples of "enduring wealth and prosperity" in human history occurred IN SPITE of government, not because of it.

God is dead and black is white but you cannot name a single example of sustained wealth and prosperity that was not enabled by government!
YOU CANNOT! because your ideology is deeply and fundamentally flawed.
Your meme is equally flawed.
What is required and and has always been inherent in the nature of government is that people/citizens remain constantly vigilant to ensure it does not become captured by vested interests like corporate sponsors. Keep your government in check!
That does not mean you can have prosperity without any government but that you must fight fight fight for good honest government.
Libertarian ideology is a just a cynical cop out to justify avoiding your civic duties...and enables and allows more corrupt government because of it.
