Yesterday's outrages are tomorrows norms. Thus has every civilization in human history died.
The ONLY form of government ever conceived by man that has never been tried is to enshrine Personal Property Rights above ALL else. This is really Step Zero for the somewhat more popular NAP / anarcho capitalist / Constitutional Anarchy etc.
All that is just window dressing. Either you live in a society that will use unlimited force to stop aggression against the individual, or you live in some sort of slavery. The cage may be nicer, or shabbier. You may have one master or have to subjugate yourself to all of humanity.
But the fatal flaw in every form of human organization ever attempted is "Eminent Domain". Regardless of what you name it. It is a cancer that WILL send your progeny into starvation and war. 4000 years of recorded history prove this.
