Without the right to property, most other rights are impossible. Without the right to own computers, printing presses, and cameras, there is no freedom of information. Without the right to own bibles and build churches, there is no freedom of religion. Without the right to earn a living and own a house, there is no security and no right to life. Coercion impedes prosperity, security and happiness.
People commonly denounce coercion committed by individuals within society.
Thieves, murderers, and other thugs are generally imprisoned to protect society. A government is simply a group of men and women. Governments should be evaluated like any other group. If governments are created by the consent of their members, are non-coercive, and protect rights, they can be viewed as beneficial. But if governments are imposed without the consent of the governed and violate basic human rights, they should be viewed as destructive and harmful, and steps should be taken to check their power.
