I don’t disagree - I’m not some anarcho-primitivist that desires a return to hunter/gatherer tribal life. Civilization is good!
My disagreement comes from the hostility to government authority while accepting privatized authority. The government is at least democratic. I get to vote on who runs my city and state and country. I don’t get to vote for my boss or my landlord, making private authority inherently tyrannical.
And before you say the free market gives me the freedom to seek a different boss or landlord, that’s only possible if I uproot my entire life and move to a different area. Imagine if we didn’t get to vote on our government and instead just were expected to flee the country if we don’t like it!
Democracy is good, and capitalism is not democratic. Instead you vote with your wallet, which means us poors don’t get a say.
