I think that leads to where we are now where the do nothing state is coopted for personal agendas.

this state seems too good at carrying out personal agendas though
-
A long tradition set in place by our first set of politicians!
-
ugh. yeah to meet my criteria this thing would have to be much worse at doing stuff
-
Fair. It's pretty good at systematic oppression and 'pet projects'

it makes you a future citizen of the crab horde khaganate, which will come into existence after i assemble a gang of deranged ex-military types and use them to conquer your helpless state
-
i guess i’d better hope that the security firm that wins the contract from the external risk management consortium to repel the crab khaganate has their shit together
-
i think you underestimate how much the creation of a helpless state includes the impossibility of its functions to be usurped by a helpful non-state actor unless you're trying to tell me that the security firm will just conquer you faster

what's like minarchist but left-leaning? is social minarchist too much of a contradiction?
-
it might be. if you have state involvement in health care payments is that de facto already too big too involve "min" anywhere in the name?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think "make the state effective" is fine as long as it is after "rewire the state's incentive systems".
-
Like, let it do big socialist things, but first make it absolutely impossible for a political career to be anything but altruistic. Make getting elected suck.

We tend to focus on the way behavior emerges from order, but the reverse is underappreciated. I would like to see what emerges from a sincere commitment to empathy and the rejection of fear, anger, and greed as justifications. Might we cease to confuse order with wellbeing?
-
(And, for that matter, might we cease to confuse disharmony with freedom?)
-
But to answer the question, AFAIK minarchy is just bandaged ancapism. The excessive focus on the significance of the state is, I think, a digression. What do we want and what will emerge from that? The rest will emerge from this fundamental "should" and our circumstances.
-
And to answer the question *more* directly, yeah, that sounds kind of like minarchism, but without more knowledge of the fundamental intentions behind it, I cannot be sure.
