    Even Herbert Spencer saw states and governments as naturally justified through survival of the fittest.

    You have to think, simultaneously, that the state is an illegitimate entity based entirely on coercion, that markets and money exist outside of the state, and that the hierarchy created by the market is natural and good.

    The problem is that the state itself can't also somehow exist within a market otherwise that would justify it's existence.
