Freedom Involves Restraint

Liberty doesn't come from law and government, it comes from asserting ownership of oneself and the products of ones' time, talents and efforts.

Anarchy is liberty. Whereas the government robs me to pay for my own persecution, an insurance agency or tuath is voluntary. I pay them or perhaps other voluntary organizations and individuals for protection of myself and property and arbitration of disputes. Or perhaps I enter a security organization which does not require a monetary fee for membership but rather that I devote a certain amount of time to security of my fellow members. The possibilities are endless for provision of goods and services that were once the dominion of government in a free market world.

Fascists. Andy, Johnathan, Maiden, you'll all deny it but you've been reading the wrong texts. Maiden, what you're saying is that the human race is essentially a gang of murderers and need to be controlled or we'd all run amok. That would imply that if anyone could ever get away with any crime, they would automatically commit it regardless of any other factors; the idea of 'limited' freedom is like saying a prisoner in his cell is 'free; free to use his toilet bucket, free to stare at the ceiling, free to ring a tune on the bars.

Andy, John, your ideas echo Anarcho-capitalism, not true Anarchy. You're talking about private security firms running the police and the government. Seriously, do you think crime would go down if the police and judiciary pay were linked to arrests and convictions? Do you really want to privatise the police, to throw open policing and the law itself to being bought up by Virgin and Sky? That would enahnce personal freedom, would it? SERIOUSLY?
