I earnestly think some techbro politics guys think a state arises as soon as someone who has not gotten power through “the free market” gains power (e.g. through voting/mass appeal), at least until they become techno-monarchists.
modern capitalist markets are exactly the same as markets in Ancient Roman times, all we gotta do is make a society like that but without the the Senate and Consuls and we’re good.
I’m pretty sure both ancaps and tech journalists don’t know what a state is
It’s one of those 5hings that’s pretty hard to avoid having when you stake out territory and set certain norms within thst territory.
