There's no such thing as a "right" to govern any territory or region. Other than your personal real estate.
Every individual human has the right and the obligation to govern him-/herself. This right can't be assigned to anyone else.
No one has a “right” to govern even one other person. Such an imaginary “right” can’t exist and can’t be created with “laws” or documents. Nor does any such "authority" exist. Political "authority" is The Most Dangerous Superstition.

Democracy doesn't change this any more than does the "divine right of kings". It doesn't matter if you believe it is "necessary" or if you're scared of what might happen otherwise. You have a right to be scared and to take measures to defend yourself and your property- but not to govern others.
Trying to govern another individual anyway, in spite of not having the right to do so, is a violation of their natural human rights, which means it is a crime. No matter who you are or what excuse you grasp for to justify what you're doing.

Until this fundamental truth is generally acknowledged and accepted by the human species as the necessary reality that it is, all the erroneous mistakes and errors to the contrary will continue to drive us to destruction and extinction.
ReplyDelete"No one has a “right” to govern even one other person." What about minors? Admittedly, they have Natural Rights, too, but don't parents have a responsibility to "govern" them when they are young?
ReplyDeleteI guess it depends on your definition of "govern". Good parents seem to guide and protect more than govern.
DeleteIf you treat your kids the way government treats you, I'd call you an abuser.
I believe that the proper role of a parent is to act as a steward and teacher of another free and eventually independent individual. This is one of the most difficult tasks a human being can undertake and is fraught with potential peril due to a child’s helpless dependency initially that can seduce some to treat their offspring as property to control and direct; or ‘govern’ and rule.
