Dictators aren’t accountable to their consumers/citizens. I think it’s perfectly possible have a strong executive and excuse messy interest group politics while still maintaining the social contract.
Perhaps you should stop projecting preconceived notions of what you think an NRxer or a libertarian would believe or say on me and simply engage with the ideas and concepts I articulate in a vacuum

I’m not exactly ideologically allergic to state-led markets (I.e China). You heard me say market and jumped to the conclusion that I’m some sort of libertarian. I was merely referring to optimization via competing for consumers.

The kernel of this engagement isn’t free market vs alternatives. It’s that I’m arguing democracy and liberty are incompatible. And that the will of the mob is foolish governance theory.

Stop trying to rhetorically “own” me and try to understand these ideas. Not agree with them. Just understand it.

You get rid of democracy, and liberty dies pretty quickly. And the mob does pretty well.

In your system with CEO kings, they won't really being competing in terms of markets. They'll just be trying kill each other. And the kind of markets we have now wouldn't be able to exist very well without centralized power.

You should look up a concept called patchwork. I can’t explain with the character limit but you should find your answer with about 15 minutes of cursory research
