Welcome to Episode 2 of the Rising Society Podcast!
Tony and Johnny discuss the role of government, specifically regarding Law and Order.
Tony the “State-Skeptic”, explains that society is already governed by institutions and traditions. In many cases, the state is a vessel for disorder and confusion. He challenges the conventional notion that law and order must always be dispensed by the state. Looking to the Gaelic (Ancient Ireland) and the Ancient Hebrews (Old Testament as the source) as societies that relied on a compensatory justice system rather than a punitive one. Tony argues for a justice system that elevates compensation above vengeance. Overall, his take is that vengeance does not belong to the state, it belongs to the Lord.
Johnny defends his Modern Conservative Point of View. He explains that good government must meet two criterion: Limited and Accountable. The scope of government must be limited to defending the rights of its citizens (from invading forces, transgressions by other citizens, etc.). The methods and actions of the governments must be closely monitored and held accountable by the governed. In order to prevent society from spiraling into an anarchic disorder, the state plays a pivotal role. The key is finding the proper balance between Liberty and State Regulation. The state’s role is to protect those inherent, God-Given, individual rights.
