The other day we received a letter in wich the writer stated that in his opinion the choice was between government and anarchy. He asked what we proposed in place of government and we said that we proposed freedom. Government by its very nature must govern. To govern is to dictate.
All governments are dictatorships of one form or another.
They may be one-man dictatorships, constitutional dictatorships, dictatorships in republican or democratic form, majority rule dictatorships, dictatorships by bureau or what have you. But the fact remains that to govern is to dictate. The alternative to government is freedom. The individual who believes in freedom does not seek to govern others. He merely wants to govern himself.
