Minarchy

I like the philosophy of minarchy. I think that is what the Founders were, for the most part. I would like to keep our federalist heritage within the traditional constitutional republic from which our nation arose, and go forward from there. Dennis Prager claims that the larger the state, the smaller the individual, and vice versa. Growing out of Maslowian psychology is the workable concept of self-actualization. Suppose that future generations of Americans, the ordinary Joe and Janet, were to become supermen and superwomen, but utillizing their almost limitless, fabulous powers as fully actualized individuals. Think of the ethical, religious, cultural and political implications of this revolutionary transformation. Politically, if each individual was fully skilled and full involved in running her city, her county, her state and her country, this supercitizen would require a polity that left her free to pursue life, liberty, property and happiness (Rand's joy of life) without governmental or institutional interference. This lawful but liberated constitutional anarchist would be a private citizen or an elected official or a bureacrat of exceptional quality and vision. This caliber of citizen is what I have referred to as a supercitizen. After I am dead, these types of human populations will come about, a natural outgrowth of human evolution. A generation of high civilization individuating supercitizens, in any country, in any generation, will be one of the most advanced generations that ever lived. Utopia does not exist and never will, but a high, free society of supercitizens would not be a bad place to live.
