Liberty sounds fine to a lot of people but how can you allow absolute freedom without allowing people to also embrace and become slaves to their own destructive impulses? The Post-Modern nihilistic condition we are all in is a good example of it. Despite the ruling oligarchy commiting the worst crimes people can even think of, there's very few people out there willing to do something about it and become a legit opposition...

I don't think even (sane) anarchists promote absolute freedom for everyone. There needs to be a group of laws and education needs to be part of the policies of a healthy anarchist state. Even if these institutions and people technically have no political power.

So in the end freedom can't be the solution to everything and people's drives need to be repressed somehow. I suppose authoritarians simply take a more straightforward approach to it.

My own view of things is that having people to rely upon shouldn't be seen as some kind of disgrace. I think It's something that is part of our nature and that's why people who seek wisdom in order to help others like scholars and philosophers should be recognized by their efforts. I would say this view of authorities is one of the sacred ethics that are part of the philosophy that I'm developing.
