Even so-called "small" or "limited" government is still babying the citizenry. What is a limited government supposed to do? Provide for domestic security, provide a medium of exchange, provide a legal system for addressing grievances, right? Are men so weak that they can't figure out how to do these things themselves and have to form a government to coerce their neighbors into accepting their shitty solution to these issues? There is no reason why we can have multiple, competing legal systems. In fact, we already have private arbitration, and centuries' worth of case law. There is no reason why we can't provide for our own defense, forming militias in our own local communities and teaching our children how to defend themselves instead of being little bitches who sit in their rooms playing video games all day pretending to be soldiers. There is no reason why we need to say "this is money and nothing else is!" because the free market does this for us. We don't even need a single currency. Europe got by just fine before the Euro, where each country had its own currency. Everyone knew the exchange rates and could easily convert their currency, and the prices of items in common tourist areas were just listed in two or three currencies. When I was in Switzerland a few years ago, items were priced in Euros and Swiss Francs. Not a big deal. Small government is just when men give up some of their responsibility to work within their communities and find solutions to their problems, and it always, always leads to tyranny -- to a small group of sociopaths, narcissists, and apparently pedophiles taking more and more power until everyone becomes their slaves.
