I like that the author recommends a heavy onus on the state to prove a public benefit before any law restricting or abridging a citizen’s liberty can be instantiated. That is itself a bulwark against the collectivist ideology that inevitably leads to socialism.
When the rights of the individual supersede the rights of the collective, there is liberty. Where the collective rules the individual, you will find tyranny.
Yes indeed, “a heavy onus on the state” before depriving us of liberty.
