Antinomial anarchy and free market capitalism are unworkable extremes, but a bit of regulation turns them into comfortable and prosperous free societies. Anarchy needs basic laws, and free market economy – anti-monopoly regulation. People grow used to comfort, and pay less attention to defending their freedoms, at which point they are overtaken, either by aliens, peacefully through immigration or violently through war, or by dictators. Less than free market is still called capitalism, less than “from each according to his abilities, to each according to his work” – socialism, and less than antinomial freedom is a legitimate anarchy.
