If You take away Choice, You take away Agency
Libertarianism? It seems hinged to the premise that freedom comes with the doing away of the law. That might be a false siren. There is more freedom to be found in keeping a law than there is in doing away with the law. The same can be said of agency and choice. There is more agency and choice when you have a law than there is when you don't. If there is no law and there is no punishment, there is no choice. If you take away the need for choice -- the need to choose right over wrong -- you take away a person's agency.
