I like the idea of no state but china would not have advanced like this without one.

The state apparatus is a powerful thing, whether you believe it's right or wrong.

Small self governing communities don't build mega cities and high-speed rail.

They mostly just raise livestock, grow vegetables, make craft to trade etc.

100% true, but its not the whole picture.

Beiyang China was best China. Killed no more than a few hundred thousand innocent people over two decades.

KMT bodycount hit the millions, CCP the tens of millions before they arrived at systems that allow initiative and investment.

Its nice what they have now, if you're wealthy like my friend in HK. But the failure modes of Statism are really not nice.
