To be human is to desire freedom and be free.

This kind of thinking and governance essentially kills the humanity in us all, I'm genuinely surprised that anyone can even for a second consider this to be productive or desirable (except maybe those that feel they will be part of the suppressing class, which they likely won't).

Hm? Like every species, being a member of that species means having been selected by evolution over countless generations to further the species. It's an ingenious distributed algorithm, if you wish. To "desire freedom" is a nice illusion that you are telling yourself, quite rightfully, but that's not what it means "to be human".

Anarchy is not the solution. Brings us right back to medieval times.
