This kinda reminds me of what Marx is saying about Proudhon, the ideal perfect competition reflecting a petty-bourgeois class status, and desiring a world in which the contradictions of the capitalist mode of production which bear down on him wouldn't exist. But the contradiction is where you locate the essence of the system, with the state being little else than an executive committee than manages the affairs of the capitalist ruling class.

Part of that is removing competition, either from smaller competitors (which are crushed in the so-called "free market") or from rival capitalist states, necessitating an army and navy and air force and marines. It means enforcing intellectual property laws, which you can be sued and found liable by a judge, or your country can be sanctioned or subject to military blockade by the capitalist state. They might contradict the interests of particular sectors of industry, and particular capitalists, but in the main do so to protect their class as a group. And since you want to prevent them from doing that, then that has real merit, and helps the impending social revolutions.
