Any Libertarians who think government is not important read the article?
Obviously not! They don't understand how capitalism works. There is no market without the state. This is the reality!

Nonsense- you obviously will still have markets without the state but any geographical area with a less unified and resourceful organisational structure will be vulnerable to and will succumb to competing geographical groups who will have superior ability to strategise capture and control of resources.
This is what China is doing.
This is what history shows repeatedly - that since life emerged organisms and groups of organisms compete continuously for dominance and the most highly organised groups of organisms are humans in nations state groups.
All empires have been the best functioning nation states who best coordinated their own resources and captured and controlled those of other less well organised groups.
Libertarians fail to sufficiently appreciate this fundamental historical reality and endanger the collective functional viability of their own host nations in the process.

So you agree with what I wrote from your analysis. I think I didn't make myself understood, because your explanation is exactly how I see the current reality

Good to hear I am not alone in this view!
It is really a question of what is most important, the market/s or the state, when IMO they are to a large extent interdependent.

You are not alone. Many people do not realize that many of the technological advances were produced by the state and not by the private sector.
