Taking power back from the government is the main goal of the libertarian movement. Mediating institutions won't need any encouragement or assistance once they are allowed back into their rightful niche in society. They will grow into their functions naturally since they reflect the genuine will of the people. Libertarians are tightly focused on transferring power away from the government and thus empowering other institutions such as families, neighborhood organizations, church groups, voluntary associations, and ethnic clubs. All these traditions were strong when the government was weak.
Regulations often interfere with civic vitality, voluntary action, and community responsibility.
There is a direct conflict between the growth of centralized control and these traditions.
