]]> Comment on Locke & Kant: Why Form a State? by James deJuste II http://tryingliberty.com/2008/06/06/locke-kant-why-form-a-state/#comment-680 James deJuste II Sat, 17 Oct 2009 00:08:26 +0000 http://tryingliberty.wordpress.com/?p=20#comment-680 Mr. Rule states above,...“a person can do exactly as he wants to do, but no one could legitimately defend him against those who oppress him. His rights, therefore, do not exist. The state, however, can...protect the oppressed against the oppressors. Thus, Kant argued, the good of society is to preserve freedom.” Or, to stand that statement on its head, and as the situation is now fast becomming, the state can protect the oppressors. The state functions to diminish freedom, e.g, European laws against questioning the holocaust, and the enactment of “hate laws” in the States, both of which diminish freedom of speech.
