One coercion always makes another inevitable

"The more opportunities there are in a Society for some persons to live upon the toil of others, and the less those others may enjoy the fruits of their work themselves, the more is diligence killed, the former become insolent, the latter despairing, and both negligent... The exercise of one coercion always makes another inevitable."

Anders Chydenius (1729-1803)

Note:
Chydenius was a Finnish-Swedish priest, but more notably in Nordic culture, a pre-Mises champion of Classical Liberalism favoring of course (very) minimum government.

Classical Liberalism should be not be confused with modern references, for it is completely opposed to the quite similar cousins "left" Liberalism (i.e. Democrats) and "right" Conservatism (i.e. Republicans). It is important to note, the qualifiers "left" and "right" are politically as well conversationally useless terms, representing no distinctions other by name and emphasis. For both are quite hellbent on massive governing in all aspects of life for persons here and abroad, therefore both anti-Classical Liberalism, synonymously anti-Individualism.
