The article focuses heavily on government regulation which makes me feel like it subconsciously paints a picture of "those evil capitalists trying to escape regulation...haha fail". In the light of recent mass surveillance revelations I think less government is still very much a valuable goal to strive for.

The counterexamples regarding infrastructure are a bit too tongue in cheek for me, too. The point about the legal system makes sense on the surface but only if contrasted with no legal system at all. Pretty much all "freedom utopias" I'm aware of are heavily based on a strong belief in property rights and private contracts.
