Anarcho-capitalism in action. It turns out that if you will eliminate state from your transaction, playing field will automatically devolve into law of jungle or as we are saying in my country - stronger dog fucks.

Ya, libertarianism over here in the US tries to spout that getting the government out of the way will bring a utopia. There vision of a utopia must be a very terrible place.
