The Social Contract will always limit absolute freedom of the individual and on that basis I think that certain governing bodies can promote freedom. I believe, and I think you see it this way too, that humans have a certain right to life and liberty that is transcendent, bestowed upon us by something greater than us. Therefore, to the government that claims to be the source of those rights, I say, "fuck you", indeed. But a healthy governing body that forms a framework of shared social agreements can be a powerful tool of negotiation for the personal rights and freedoms of the individual so long as he consents to be governed. What do you think about this?
if you can show me a government that works as you described above , I'll join you :) . As Pir Sultan Abdal said, in a corrupt system, there can be no sturdy wheel.
I don't think there ever has been or ever will be a government that operates solely for the benefit of the governed. Governments are defined by personal decisions and and the health of the governmental system as a whole essentially relies on the integrity of the people who maintain them. Do you support anarchy?
As for an example of a government that works correctly: The rules that govern the interpersonal relationships and interaction between you and your closest friend or dearest love, would be one. Another example would be the accumulated physical laws of our universe.
