They don't have to be intertwined, Anarchocapitalism seeks to do away with the institution of political authority entirely to deal with this problem, for example. This absolutely terrifies the kinds of people who don't understand that the state is the cause of the problems with capitalism because they always attempt to address the problems by handing more political authority to the state, which sells it off in a process of regulatory capture.



You assume that these people are trying to address problems with capitalism and not, you know, quality of life. That's exactly like saying that an atheist is simply angry at God when the majority of atheists don't even think God exists.


These people invariably see "hand more power to the state and petition for more aggressive control of the free market" as the solution to increasing their quality of life, or whatever else they're trying to accomplish.

What difference do their goals make if their suggestions are always the same and guaranteed to turn out badly?
