Requiring a state to protect private property isn't "the state running things". Even right-libertarians concede the necessity of state to uphold private property laws. "The state running shit" would be like… a planned economy.
Look friend, it should be clear that "things", in the context of this conversation so far, is the market. Once again, just like expanding the use of "state" to include anything resembling central authority, you try twisting my words as some sort of gotcha. I've been clear and consistent in my beliefs regarding the market and I'm open to hearing alternative views.

Don't equivocate the two, yeah?

It's fucking bonkers that you think the definition of "things" is what's at issue here.
I'm not disputing that lmao. But upholding private property law is not running the market. That would be, like i said, a planned economy.
