I noticed that arguments from statism don’t come from the goodness of a monopolist protection agency, but from a fetish for central-ness. See my thread about it here.
In short, you can get them to admit that statism doesn’t really solve any problems, because what if there were a thousand governments in Texas, well they wouldn’t be able to do anything. So they just want everything to be connected and coordinated, which really obviously opens the door for the market. People have this false dichotomy in their heads between “government” and “doing nothing”. We can stress that the free market isn’t nothing… acting through the price system etc etc
