Wanna hear a nifty argument for why government power should be increasingly limited?
Because most people generally trust the government and generally (often vehemently) distrust private interests. Point out that the government is a monopoly and most people hem and haw about why that's okay. But propose anything that gets people to think there is even the slightest bit of possibility of increasing the ability for private enterprise to monopolize and those same people lock and load.
Since we know that monopolies fuck people over, this tells us that if we want to be less fucked over, go with the one that people are looking for any and every reason to fight, since that behavior would significantly stem the negative impact of its existene. Of course, the only way this logic could yield a decrease in government power is if the logic is not relevant. So, it's like a paradox.
But for the thinker. For the person who finds that they tend to rationalize why government monopolies are a-okay while the mere whiff of a possibility of a private monopoly elicits distrust. For that person, this is worth considering.
