That isn't what I meant. I wanted to say that I feel like people are focusing on democracy for the sake of having democracy instead of using it as just one tool to achieve maximum freedom like it was supposed to.
- petermcneeley 8y agoYes but "achieve maximum freedom" is a negative liberty concept. Positive liberty is more like parentalism which limits freedom to achieve self-mastery.
- TomMarius 8y agoFor this reason I specifically said "while having a positive society". Not that I don't agree (or disagree) but I don't want to argue about this at all. The point is that we have democracy instead of absolutism to have freedom, not to have democracy.
