RE: Rule of Majority

Yes, thanks for clarifying, this is what I meant as well.

And this is an important distinguishment, I mean every person has power over their own lives, unless they live in a concentration camp, which is already the ultimate evil.

The question is how much of their lives they are sharing with the government. Well it looks like pretty much half of it, just based on taxes:

So you are working half of the year just to pay taxes, which is half of your life sacrificed for the government.

Now suppose in the future people will have more free time, taxes might not go down, but people will find easier professions, instead of being a sweatshop slave for 18 hours/day, they can just be Steemit bloggers for 3-4 hours/day.

By having more time to think is a great opportunity to spread ideas about freedom. If people are not shackled, then they are obviously doing things for their freeom.

Once people taste freedom, they don't want to lose it. Just look at the hedonistic lifestyle of the youth. This is an example of repressed freedom in society, and people want to break out of it.

It starts by not being a work slave, and it really ends in anarchy, where the government will just have to go away because people will not put up with endless restrictions, they have a tendency to break free.
