In 1850, Frederic Bastiat wrote in his classic essay, “The Law,” that tariffs are a step toward socialism. In his words, “protectionism, socialism, and communism are basically the same plant in three different stages of its growth.” All three call for government to intervene in the marketplace to influence who gains and who loses.
Even if the absence of government really did mean anarchy in a negative, disorderly sense (which is far from being the case), even then it couldn't be worse than the position to which government has led humanity.

If you wish to know how libertarians regard the State and any of its acts, simply think of the State as a criminal band, and all of the libertarian attitudes will logically fall into place.
- Murray Rothbard
We are living in a sick society filled with people who would not directly steal from their neighbor but who are willing to demand that the government do it for them.
- William L. Comer
No amount of idealism can justify the monopolization of power; only a decentralized, voluntary order of free markets and individual sovereignty can truly safeguard liberty and prosperity.
no state is the best state

Logic alone cannot free a man from a flawed belief that he did not adopt through logic in the first place.
The concept of a 'just' or 'fair' price is devoid of any scientific meaning; it is a disguise for wishes, a striving for a state of affairs different from reality.
- Ludwig von Mises
Simply put, libertarians take the non-aggression principle that most people implicitly follow in their interactions with other individuals, and apply it to group actions, including government actions, as well.
