Except that some people "forget" that "state authoritarianism" is usually imposed involuntarily upon all inhabitants of a huge geographical land area, with essentially no competition at all. Whereas contract-based systems generally include very high levels of competition.
So, calling them "identical" is laughably false.
what you say here makes sense; i think you're kind of saying that governments have an enforced monopoly in their territory, such that there are fewer natural systems keeping them in line. do you have any thoughts on how, in the day-to-day world, one would handle oppression by a corporation vs oppression by a government?
