Stirner, the indivdualist-anarchist revolutionary, believed that people were basically good, so too many laws, rules and legal constraints made people sick and troubled, not law-abiding and moral.
I too am an individualist-anarchist revolutionary, but I assert that people are basically bad. As obedient society insiders, they are naturally bad, group-oriented (which reinforces there badness) and live as social creatures (further reinforcing their natural badness).
We always need law and order, but the locus of legal and moral order and control is best situated in the rational soul of the individuating-anarchist supercitizen. We still require some small, limited government and some institutional presence, but people can learn to be good, and as they follow and serve God, they lead lives of moral freedom, balanced with internal order, and moderated appetites. In this way they become good and productive members of society.
