Restricting us from debating on the "general state vs no state" line is unreasonable I think.

It would appear that in taking this approach you are running from a legitimate criticism of AC. There are some services that the government is quite good at providing. I am also certain the market can provide these services and deal with the free rider issues. When you retreat to the default position of the state being bad because it provides services by force you are repeating yourself rather than contributing to the discussion in a meaningful way.

I'm not retreating from the criticism at all. But everytime someone asks something about AC the debate would just be...

"How will this work in AC-land?"
"Free market, next topic."

We can't say exactly HOW the free market will solve certain things and we never claim utopia where everything has a happy solution.
