You don't get to both 'give away a freedom to the government via the social contract in exchange for protection of your other freedoms' and then also say "hey, it's immoral to not have this freedom; Give it back!". It's one or the other.

Hum, the whole point of anarchism is that they don't even recognize the first as valid, let alone wanting both.

Right, but we don't live in an anarchy, and I for one don't want to for that reason exactly.
