"Did we come here to laugh or cry?
Are we dying or being born?"
~Carlos Fuentes
Government was invented by people for two reasons:
- To
institutionalize force over others
- To protect the inalienable rights of
all people in its care
In other words: for force or for freedom.
All governments in history have tended toward one
or the other.
When a force government attempts to protect the inalienable
rights of its people, it loses strength and power. This is the message of Machiavelli.
When freedom government attempts to institutionalize force over
others (of the poor by the rich or of the rich by the poor), it loses its
strength and power. This is taught at length in The Federalist Papers (see papers 16-20, 51).
