Government intervention is required to give everyone a chance to be free. The "freedom" capitalists love to talk about is only for a minority of the population. Leaving a society to their own devices leads to chasms and elites that only benefit a few people at the top.

So yes, more government intervention is more freedom net total.

We wouldn't need intervention if the human nature was altruistic. But alas, it's the opposite.

Coming from someone who studies Political Theory at doctorate level, I must say that your first paragraph is excellently placed. Well thought out. Wouldn't mind to have students like you, unlike some of those who clearly feel that a University degree is a chore...

I actually feel universities are a chore :P Dropped out of university majoring physics. Went directly into training to become an IT network specialist. Best decision of my life.
