Exactly. Expressions like the ones of Vitalik are nothing but a reflect of a profound lack of understanding on market laws in the most abstract sense, and of the Overton Window regarding specifically to politics. Politicians are nothing but a type of marketeers like any other, and will sell you exactly what you ask for. Conversely, successful politicians will only do what's politically profitable, and that's a good thing, not a bad thing at all. We are seeing that here in real time: many former socialist politicians turned to more libertarian speeches for it's now politically profitable. Politicians are the most armless branch of the state. The true danger are bureaucrats, the silent, faceless ones that do not depend on (nor care about) people's approval but solely on socialist parasitical schemes.
