Definitely Not a Correct Association
From the article...
As a term, night-watchman state (German: Nachtwächterstaat) was coined by German socialist Ferdinand Lassalle in an 1862 speech in Berlin. He criticized the bourgeois liberal limited government state, comparing it to a night-watchman whose sole duty was preventing theft. The phrase quickly caught on as a description of capitalist government, even as liberalism began to mean a more involved state, or a state with a larger sphere of responsibility.
From me...
How could minarchy possibly be confused with any capitalist government? There is nothing minimal about capitalist governments, as they are all massive bureaucracies. LOL.
