I just think it's unrealistic to leave everything to the free market. I admire the libertarian ideal, but my point was always this; who's gonna watch the watchdogs? Governments, corporations, and people are all organisations in the end. They're all susceptible to the same problems, and that is getting too big, and corrupt.

People watch over the governments through a representative democracy, governments watch over corporations through regulations, and the corporations watch over the people who work for them. In the lax laissez faire system, you remove the government from the equation, and that leads to corporations getting bigger and bigger till THEY become the government, which is what happened already with Google, Twitter and Facebook. At some point, they have no reason to even innovate since they don't have any competition.
