Yes. And the idea that a libertarian society or a truly free
market is going to copy mercantilistic devices from the 'ancien
regime' is unwarranted.
I'm not sure it's more unwarranted than the assumption that mercantilistic devices are always the wrong ones.
I'm not surprised that Sean said that though, since Sean has a
rather 'naive' view about current fascist 'institutions' like
apple, facebook, uber, the tor project and other jewels from
the establishment's crown.
My view has been slowly shifting toward a more left anarchist one. But it can only go so far before I have to quit my job at Google to avoid feeling like too much of a hypocrite.
