Okay, this is at least honest. Yes, we could certainly effectively return to a form of feudalism/warlordism. I don't think it's a very good idea though. These authors comment on the idea that war being expensive would be a barrier, and surely it would be some kind of barrier. On the other hand, during the late medieval and early modern eras there were numerous wars that easily cost the entire revenue of the "state" for the year or sometimes multiple years. These wars were privately financed and involved the use of mercenaries. To me, this doesn't sound so different from the world proposed by libertarians like this, and I much prefer our world.
