Government has totaly ended freedom. Not merely “restricted” it. No government has any legitimacy; all must rightfully be overturned. Libertarianism was right all along.
This statement is far too broad. Gov't has two legitimate functions: 1) the provision of social overhead capital (e.g., those things deemed necessary by society but won't be purchased in private markets, like a standing military, public highways, etc.), and 2) the policing of property rights (e.g., a legal system, police protection, etc.). The problem is that we have let our gov't far over-step their required tasks.
