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.

 

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

 

tell that to the north koreans

That's not intervention, that's dictatorship. See, the key is moderation. For example the amount of government intervention in the US is absolutely laughable and barely does anything to protect its citizens.

That's why the wealth gap is so gigantic and citizens are forced to drink poison water and get fucked over by their employers.
