I think all of human progress is despite the state, not because of it.

I do appreciate the angle, and understand the sentiment, I just wonder if, say the UK, that hasn’t been invaded for 1,000 years, would have been able to avoid that without having a state army to protect it; which in turn gave a thousand years of space for the individuals/families to build.
Something as important as physical protection must not be left in the hands of the state, a private market of defense is vastly superior than a monopoly.
It seems because the disease could exist it did exist.
People consider our progress over the last 100 years amazing and we achieved all of this despite the state wielding its most deadly weapon Central banking.
Can you imagine what was stolen from us? Literally Star trek or even more.
Who's going to build the roads is such a blind assumption. We might not even need roads by this point.
