will minarchy always fail?

this guy thinks that the productive capacity of a free market necessarily leads to government expansion, and that anarchy is the only solution. I agree with the former, but not the latter - though that does appear to have happened. I've discussed this elsewhere, but efficiencies in production and distribution in the global economy have facilitated gov expansion esp warfare. This partially explains why the US (and the dollar) has not yet (totally) collapsed, though very smart people have been predicting collapse for a long time and have been largely correct.
