RE: Why Economic and Individual Freedom Trump Collectivism.

in #market6 years ago

I like your videos, but this one was too one-sided. Collectivism is not bad per se. It's bad if you have too much of it. It's all about balance.
"Why we need government?" - To organize all that stuff that's too big for small community. How would you organize army or emergency services? How to enforce equal rights between market actors? If not the government, I would never hear of you, we would have no internet or in best case something like AOL (private computer network that sucked big time).
"Absolute sovereign would protect individual rights". Really? Why? Absolute monarch has 0 incentives to care about freedom of its subjects. Worse, freedom of subjects is an endangerment of absolute power.
I agree that democracy in present form is far from being perfect, but it's best social agreement we came up till now.
