Capitalism is highly dependent upon the state.
This is easily demonstrated by the fact that without the state and the rule of law it enables property ownership, contracts and security of people and territory which underpin capitalism are not possible.
It never ceases to amaze me how Libertarians can ignore this fundamental reality and somehow imagine that capitalism could exist, let alone thrive without the state creating and enforcing the property rights and security.

People want to have government- it provides the rule of law and certainty that capital wants.

Remove government and the people clamour to replace it because they understand the nature of life without it is fucking chaos and law of the jungle.

Go live somewhere there is no government and report back

  • oh but you will not ever do that because you are a blatant hypocrit and are not insane &/or suicidal enough to actually go live by the Libertarian bullshit you preach.

Nobody is stopping you from going somewhere there is no government except yourself and you self preservation instinct.
Because life without any government is fucking hard and you would not last 5 minutes fending for yourself.
