Markets are nothing more than voluntary association. Most, if not every "obscenely rich" person got this rich because of govt interference (lobbying, govt sanctioned monopoly, corporate welfare, subsidies, etc.)

"Organic" market economy would be beneficial to everyone

Sorry, but a market requires a state to protect it. How else are we gonna make sure no one steals our shit?
