It is a fantasy - nothing more - ignores reality of history and HUMAN NATURE.
The relationship between economic freedom and prosperity/quality of life is absurdly strong.
Just look at this map and think about how people live in the green places compared to the red ones.
Look at the most productive economy on the planet - China - it is highly autocratic but extremely successful in economic and power projection terms.
China has the refined rare earths- USA 'the land of the free' goes not.
Yet USA 'the land of the free' is responsible for most of the wars and deaths via state led aggression in the last 80 years.
The delusion of economic freedom in USA is built upon the oppression, coercion and imperialist subjugation of the most of the rest of the world.
Americans wealth and freedoms are built upon the subjugation and theft of people across the rest of the world. See history for the evidence.
The big flip will occur when the burden of proof switches.
We currently, and erroneously, are required to demonstrate how everything would still work without initiatory violence before people accept that we can do without it.
Obviously, the burden should be on the violent interventionist to prove how their violent intervention will make everything better, before we permit it.
