That said - I didn’t posit that all government regulation is bad in my original post in this thread. I said that weakening the power of federal agencies is likely the only path to maintaining our federal system in the long term.

While yes, my “end goal” is the dissolution of the state, I’m not naive enough to believe that could happen overnight and it be a good thing. Instead, I’d like to see government functions replaced one by one by private enterprises through natural market forces, culminating in dissolution of the state through lack of utility and interest in continuing it. That would be a multi-generational project even by the most optimistic projections.
