- End State Paternalism: Whether religious, monarchist, autocratic, ‘Burkean’ conservative, fascist or socialist, these ideologies are all based on the central premise that there is a ruling class that knows best. By definition, therefore, they always undermine the freedom, liberty and the responsibility of the individual.
- That totalitarian authoritarian state (eg. communism and fascism) degrade and destroy the human spirit and free will.
- Socialism and Burkean Conservatism are also systems that want to use the state as a means of controlling the individual and instructing people what they should or shouldn’t do. They are both ‘government knows best’ ideologies run by a small cabal of arrogant leaders (normally men!).
- The state should be limited to the role of 'Regulator' and 'Enabler' of a truly democratic, open, free, happy, caring, capatalist society that allows ALL individuals to maximise their potential and fulfil their aspirations.
