And what was up with the video acting like government's are authoritarian states simply when they pass laws? L

 

And I think you missed the point here. The point was in a free society, the government can not pass laws that grant them power you don't have. So for example, if your a bad parent, the government can take your children, but as a citizen, I don't have the authority to remove your children if I feel they are being treated inhumanly. That would be an example of the kind of law he is talking about.

Laws are good when they protect your liberties. Bad when they don't (if you believe in human rights anyway).
