It is the only possible outcome. As I explained in my prior posts, the other two choices on the poll are not economically sustainable and thus they collapse into my outcome as you admit below.
Nay! I bet that >90% of the population will prefer to live in a country with some form of government control via economy (right-wingers will choose high taxes and unconditional income however more leftist countries will nationalize production means and switch to the planned economy) rather than Somali-like. You need to read comments on Reddit (there are many topics about this issue) to understand what solutions are more preferable for the MOST people (who in fact will decide either by voting, riots or civil war).

What the masses prefer has nothing to do with the ultimate outcome, only the timing and the severity of the implosion by delaying market corrections.

History runs from minimal to maximum to minimum government over and over again since Mespotamia. Rome collapsed from 1.4 million to 30,000 population for 1000+ years, and there are numerous repeating examples throughout history.

Perpetual motion (free energy and resources) is not reality.

Minimal government is coming again, but not until after the masses try to strangle every cent of wealth from anyone who has any. Once they've destroyed all private wealth that did not hide successfully, then the we will rebuild from the chaos and ashes of society with small government, free markets, and rationality again. The period from 2016 to 2033 is going to be hell in many ways (similar in many ways as 1929 to 1946 yet the debt-to-GDP levels are double to triple worse and in every country), but it offers much opportunity to the few who will ride a better altcoin. The Bitcoiners will go down with the Titanic (but not until after rising to astronomical price levels), many ending up in jail for not declaring capital gains and unsuccessfully hiding wealth from the coming G20 crackdown on tax avoidance along with France's initiative to tax all wealth at 75%.

P.S. A minanarchist is not an anachist. We believe in minimal government.
