I’m not sure what your comment is getting at. Government exists because we need courts, cops, enforcement of contracts, some level of infrastructure for society to function - and whether you reject it or not, it does exist. But to concede power to private enterprise without any set of rules to protect the common good has no merit. The obvious examples are monopolies... and that’s only one kind of market failure.
As far as some moral conflict is concerned because of the policing powers of the state - that’s why we have something resembling a democracy, even if it’s imperfect.
