And you are both just clearly wrong. The proof is that there are times & places where people have been free & prosperous, & the difference between what we have now & those other times/places is the govt power that large special interests have to control & hide behind. Societies always collapse under too much govt. The politicians are the richest people in Venezuela & most other corrupt & collapsing societies. Govt is just institutionalized crime.
Walmart can't build an army without people fighting walmart & refusing to do business with them, but they can buy political influence & weaponize the cops & tax authorities against people to extract your wealth without most knowing it is being done.
