Oppressive Gvernment

“The sole end for which mankind is warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection”. Because I agree with John Stuart Mill I must affirm the resolution:

Resolved: “Oppressive government is more desirable than no government.”

In order to clarify the resolution, my contentions, and core value, some definitions must be set for further edification.

Government – an established system of political administration

Desirable – Object that evokes a sense of want or need

Societal Welfare – the emotional and physical well-being of a community, or populace

Citizen-A resident of the state that is; loyal, just, valuable to the government, and one that appreciates what kind of society the government creates for them to live in

V: My value for this case is that of societal welfare, and, as stated above, only a government with the expressed wish to preserve the societal welfare can be determined as a government that is truly deserving of the title and loyalty of its residents.

One thing that cannot be stressed enough however is that the majority of the populace must appreciate what the government has done for them, for what is a gove

This is societal welfare; this is what self-limitation can and will do, when one allows one’s own rights to be placed aside, where one’s doubts are put aside for a more favorable view of global change, if this place is one that is wrong then I would preferably stand in the wrong then live in a place where these constant worries would wear at the mind intolerably. Not only that but people have repeatedly shown to accept oppression over leniency in cases of national security. Now at this point my opponent is likely to scream out that this power does not necessarily help the citizens.

Subpoint A: It is an intrinsic desire contained within every human being to be in a government that will protect and foster the prosperity of every valued citizen. This means that self-limitation is the first and most essential building block to societal welfare. Everything that is perverted can be changed, everything that is filthy can be cleansed, and everything that refuses to be changed can be discharged. Everybody needs to be in a government. The only way to truly create societal welfare is by the initial forced limitation that an oppressive government can create.

Observation 1: A government is only viewed as oppressive if one does not live in the government and therefore the standards do not seem “up to par” in comparison. These standards of course being; quality of life, Gross National Product, national debt, financial situations, treatment of people, and so on. Therefore, I urge you to vote affirmative.

Subpoint A: A truly safe place is one in which the negative aspects of society can be expunged.

Contention 2: The power that a government has can force self-limitation thereby causing societal welfare. Only through self-limitation is one able to be a valued member of society and only through the realization of self-limitation to officials in government will governement be able to deal with citizens in a caring and affectionate mannor, one that fits seeing that the populace should be able to look upon the government as someone or something to turn to in their moment of need. The people of your government want to help the populace, the state, the district, you.
