But is unlimited government fundamentally authoritarian?

• zanny 13y ago
  I'd argue yes, because with unlimited government you can continuously apply more government to solve problems, but because the only people who could rescind government are those elected into the positions of ruling government, and more government gives you more control, influence, and power, it is directly antithesis the best interests of those in power to actively reduce the influence of the government they rule.

    Additionally you have the problem of cascading intervention. Every use of more government power both solves problems and creates them, and those new problems require more government power to solve, until you have so much invested effort the next step causes the whole thing to collapse ;-)
