I never proposed controlled markets and centralized government. In fact I think the combination of laissez-faire capitalism, direct democracy and a strong social safety net is the best system we've created so far. See Denmark, Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands or Switzerland.

Countries like the US put the focus on laissez-faire capitalism and offer a very thin social safety net that leaves the less able or lucky behind and is ran by oligarchs and corporations.

I guess you've never been to these countries, romanticising what you read, maybe a little bit better than the place you currently live.

Many European states turned outright autorcatic during the last years. Including the ones mentioned.

I visited them all and lived in one of them for a year.

Which makes me ask you for a more balanced take?

What are observable pros and cons within the current state logic compared to the pros and cons of a stateless model, one based on aggression (ancient) and the other based on non-aggression (potential).
