For what its worth, I'd much rather see a world where the state is smaller and only really seeks to protect consumers from big corporations and foreign powers. The problem with this idea is that the incentives lead to the growth of the state to something like we have now and worse. If you let the camel put its nose under the corner of the tent the next thing you know its inside and has taken over.

Its hard for me to see a line to set and mechanism to keep the state in check. People will claim the Constitution but really its the people and the people are easily manipulated by politicians and the education system.

I would argue that the free-market thinkers have at least pushed back and limited the growth of the cancer a bit. Without people pushing back it will take over every aspect of our lives. Bitcoin and my faith in God are the two things that keep me from being black-pilled.
