This whole debate between Libs over the purity of sovereignty is ridiculous to me. I can see how one who sees themselves as an anarchist would take up the position of morality when arguing the legitimacy of government. Minarchy, although not as "free" from the constraints of governmental control, is far more practical as a solution, and the reason being that there can be far greater results from a small, decentralized government than simply casting off all forms of government in exchange for a completely uncontrolled population. Maybe I'm just CRAZY...but the only thing which frightens me more than a tyrannous, overpowering government is a completely uncontrolled population that feels it can do whatever it chooses to anybody or anything without consequence. I am sorry, but I just do not have that much faith in other people. We have seen it happen numerous times in the past when the power goes out -looters, rapists, murderers, you name it, the common person is just transformed into a criminal over night. And yes, this isn't a perfect synopsis, but if this shit happens during a common POWER OUTTAGE, I would really hate to consider what the effects would be without any government at all.
Some anarchists would like you to believe that it is "immoral" to desire a limited and controlled government because of not only the history of mankind, but also due to the fact that there will have to be some willful surrender to the greater good. I personally find anarchy to be selfish and unreasonable to this end. The fact remains that some freedoms are sufferable, and this means that in some MINOR instances, when handled with reason, a limited government is granted some power in order to accomplish its tasks. The People, who remain free to do as they choose, only benefit from minarchy if they can keep their limited government under control.
I find no real contradiction in morality or fundamental beliefs so long as those who choose to be governed can create a sensible system and manage it appropriately. It is also fair to conclude that the minarchist society only places as much control into the hands of government as is necessary for it to function and perform its basic duties.
