Libertarians and other antigovernment people are for a sort of organized
freedom which in fact is not the natural condition of mankind. The right
to survival and the right to work, while paramount, give not a clue about
how to organize the survival and the work. Necessity does not impart a
solution. Many a necessity is without any obvious solution, or it might
have multiple solutions. Food and shelter are necessities -- how people
over the millennia have obtained these changed as the technology and
ideas came along.
The United States government was set up with the creation of
organized freedom in mind. The rest of the world is still struggling with
the concept. The rest of the world surely believes in organization --
because cooperative creatures must organize their interactions. But they
haven't totally grasped freedom. Not even the Europeans.
When those who believe in the Rights of Government talk about
liberty and libertarians they bring up "anarchy" and a list of evils without
government. What these people fail to see is that there are two parts to
government -- the organizing tool part -- and the club.
The history of mankind from a limited number of centuries prior to
the invention of writing and up through the current day has been one of
relying on the club of government to get the organizing set up and
running. What the Declaration of Independence and then the Constitution
tried to do was create the idea of Organized Freedom.
And mathematically it is expressed best by Chaos Theory -- that even
in random events there is order at some fundamental level. The math
exists -- it is only ours to discover it.
