The opposite is true. The opposite of government interference is not chaos, but voluntary association. Voluntary association = People who respect each others's property rights and voluntary engage in trade and commerce. It also means people have the right to defend themselves and their property when someone violates their property rights (by damaging property, stealing property or engaging in an act of fraud).

Government Interference = The law of the jungle. Government Interference = A big gang with a lot of guns forcing their will onto people who just happen to be living within certain artificial borders.

I'd still be doing what I do now: creating and delivering products and services other people are willing to pay for.
