One of the biggest drawbacks of thinking in "vulgar libertarian" fashion is that you forget that there were ever alternatives available to people, that the way that we live now or the way we’re used to living is the only way that was ever reasonable or good. The rise of the modern state marked a time in history when authorities began to and continue to control more about people's lives. The modern state also intrudes on people's lives in a fashion that is so much greater than before. With that being said, we are still hesitant to look at other society organizational possibilities even though the modern state continues to control us more than we would prefer.
