No system is perfect - which means that any better system will still cause bad things. This means we shouldn't shy away from admitting the bad things that will happen as a result of our proposed changes, and we shouldn't judge other people's ideas solely on the bad they cause.

Yes, freedom of expression sometimes results in emotional pain, which is bad. Yes, freedom of expression is better than the alternative.

Yes, permitting sex work means sometimes exploitation happens. Yes, legalizing drugs means some people will hurt themselves. Yes, divorces mean more broken families. Yes, all of these things are actually bad and it's OK to say that - but not allowing them is worse. Both are true.

Yes, religions mean people live in greater guilt and shame. Yes, social justice makes people afraid to express themselves. Yes, government regulation often stifles progress and unfairly oppresses small businesses. And I shouldn't judge these views 'only' on those things.

I think that it is the family and religion that can become the foundation for opposition to the state system. We can rely on them when we express our right to protect the results of our work, and on the right to dispose of our personality as we wish.
