This is another big point.
"Liberty" is a wonderful lag measure, but a terrible lead measure.
The only thing you can really do to immediately create more liberty is deregulating. But in a world without laws, the only law is that of the jungle.
In which case we have a might makes right tyranny.
But as a lag measure you can do things like legislate worker rights, minimum wages, term limits, etc. With the long-term effect of more "liberty and freedom"
any anarchy is just one step away from despotism. when power lies on the ground, it doesn't take much for anyone to pick it up and wield it. you really need a strong government to preserve anarchy.
