The state disproportionately protects the bad people
The biggest problem I have with the state is that it protects bad people from the real consequences of their actions.
In a free society, "reputation" would probably be much more important than it is now. The reason for this is that you wouldn't be able to slide by, being protected from "freedom of association", by government "laws". Anyone would be free to associate, or not, with anyone for any reason.
That means if you act in anti-social ways, or have a job that makes you act like you have special privileges, you might just face retribution for your behavior or starve to death. That may seem harsh, but that is the way it should be.
Government short-circuits this societal-protection mechanism, to our great detriment.
Of course, the state also declares authority to regulate self defense against the predators, too, but that's another issue.
