Gaillo, you are describing the basis for natural law on which British common law is based. Harm no one, and do what thou wilt. Pretty close to the golden rule. The problem with the golden rule is that you have to have the capacity for empathy in order to internalize it. We have a percentage of humans who are not in possession of the empathy gene. You can't really tell who they are until they have burned you.

The other problem we have as humans is that a very large majority of us will suspend our moral constraints in exchange for 'financial security'--money, a career, whatever. We know this from the Milgram experiments. This pool of humanity are willing accomplices of the empathy challenged, and the combination of these two puts all the rest of us and keeps us in a state of slavery. It's because we believe that their laws 'establish order'. Most people value order more than their freedom, so we agree to obeying their laws--which are not really 'laws' but merely policies of the people in power. And so we have legal (but unlawful) assaults on our inherent rights with no remedies. If it isn't written in you heart, it's not a law. You don't need books or lawyers to know what the law is.

I think I understand your your idea of the ideal government. It will respond with force against people who harm others. That is what British common law does. it administers justice between real flesh and blood people. A government that sees all the actors in its jurisdiction as legal fictions cannot possibly administer justice. How do you resist an enemy that has unlimited resources? You don't. You wait patiently until it destroys itself. And it will--because it violates the laws of nature. Natural law. There is such a thing as cosmic justice. Karma. No one escapes it.
