That is, of course, if we had the technology to build the products without a government in the first place.

Some of the founding fathers who owned slaves wouldn't mind if owning slaves became illegal. But let's not just point the finger at the government because you're neglecting the fact that a lot of people, especially in the south, owned slaves. One of the main reasons for the Civil War was to stop the expansion of slavery in the South. And they weren't told by the government to have slaves, they did it on their own free will. So I completely disagree with this.
