Another excellent example of what passes for reasoned argument in the sophomoric minds of people who believe in the libertarian utopian model.

Oh, by the way, if one is going to use a metaphor, he should make certain that the metaphor is correctly used. Sauron forged (created) the ring. Corporations didn't create "the power of the state," the people and the electorate created "the power of the state"--the voters who believe in the Marxist utopia. "The power of the state" created corporations.

The author and his referenced source for the bad metaphor got it completely wrong. Another example of an unsophisticated mind attempting to deal with sophisticated concepts.

In that way, Marxists and Libertarians are very much alike.

No. It’s just an excellent example of someone posing as a libertarian for the sake of causing them disrepute. No more valid than someone writing an article entitled “the conservative case for letting children starve.”
