The point is you have an overarching government, a State, that you cannot escape easily from, and thus using that state to interfere in the lives of its citizens for any reason should be looked at with extreme caution. I would also view Command Control economies and their prerequisite governments, as a form of Extremism, in that it assumes whomever is in power has the ability to decide Better than the individual him/herself on matters. The realms controlled abound, it does not really matter, the point remains the same. It is far easier to create your own organization, or move to another, then to leave, say, the North Korea or Cuba. The same applies to past administrations such as the USSR, & West Germany. Command & Control economies & their governments are notoriously harder to leave than western democracies. So I find it amusing that some intellectual elitists do not reconcile the very obvious: most people want to be free, or as free as possible.
