I just don't get where this type of ideaology comes from. There are plenty of countries with weak governments and not one of them is successful.

I think OP might have meant that weaker regulation/government is a necessary condition, not necessarily a sufficient one.

[dlp211]

Then I would expect to see a counterexample to my point.

I don’t follow? It could be that your counterexamples include the necessary condition, but don’t have the sufficient conditions.

In the abstract, if conditions A, B, and C are stated as required to achieve a desired outcome, the fact there happen to be examples of undesirable outcomes with condition A (but implicitly lacking conditions B and/or C) is not enough to prove that condition A is NOT a necessary condition for a desired outcome.
