I'd wager to say there is still value in having parallel markets that function regardless of Govt activity. Its not just useful in functionality, but also in delegitimizing the Govt in the public perception.

Watching the Andrew Wilson v. Dave Smith debate on Libertarian vs. Christian Populism.
Its interesting, Dave came in and should have asked for a conversation.
Andrew Wilson is keeping with a "Libertine" perspective of Libertarianism. I'd never debate since I'd rather not conversate as adversaries.
AnCap is a LEGAL SYSTEM, not a MORAL SYSTEM. Self Ownership is not a Moral axiom, its a Legal Axiom.
Laws are necessary when living in a world of scarce resources, so we need Laws, but to equate legal with moral is absurd.
I'm a fan of both of them, they both forgot that Debates are not suppose to be to convince the opposing debater. This would have been better as a conversation.

Had a couple major life changes during Lockdowns in 2020, was Agnostic while favoring Christian Ethics and Traditions. I finally found God during that time.
It was a weird position for me to be as an "Absurdist Christian" before the breakthrough.
That and finding Austrian Economics, while at my first job after graduating college. I'd been interested in Liberty and Justice, relating to Economics/Politics, as early as High School.

Morality is a question of whether or not something "should" be done.
Its fine to say something is valuable and "this is how something gets done". Those are evaluations of Economic Value. Economic Value is Subjective Truth, Morality is Objective Truth. There is a difference.
NAP and any other relativistic moral perspective cannot say something "should" be the case just by itself, due to its lack of absolute Moral Truth.
I agree NAP is how Prosperity comes about due to greater production than consumption, purely from not taking other people's stuff. Being a productive person does not mean they are a Moral person.
Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should do it. AnCap is a Legal framework that requires a Moral framework to underpin it, otherwise its merely "I prefer this rather than that"

I'm no Theologian or Philosopher, but I'll try to contribute.
The Christian Moral Perspective is one of the few Worldviews that can justify an absolute claim on Morality, declaring what is "right" and "wrong"
Relativism or Consequentialism or Utilitarianism cannot deny the assertions of Christianity due to the internal logic of their worldviews. They cannot even admit that their own systems are "morally correct" because its all dependent on context.
This will spiral into Metaethics, which a lot of individuals dismiss as "playing with semantics". This is funny considering semantics is important to any discussion.
