Poppycock. It is the states job to punish evildoing which is a moral judgement. Laws flow out of natural law which is a moral code (no murder, no steal, essentially no harm neighbor). As communism is embraced, government gets divorced from natural law, and you get crazy shit like progressive taxes, no punishing looters, racial preferences, totalitarian compliance, hate speech, etc. These always result in widespread oppression and economic collapse.

So you think it's better for the state to control what people do rather than their free will? There are consequences of course. If people try to rob me they'll get shot. I guess I like civilian justice more than state justice because it actually represents me. Ive had taxation without representation my entire life. God himself allowed you the free will to either repent or continue in your life of sin. You should allow others the same freedom.

Yes. The state must punish robbers, murderers, and rapists. If they didn't, you'd see everything taken over by warlords with small armies. No armed individual can defend against an armed gang. If evildoers can steal and murder with impunity, it would be a bloodbath. If you had anything of value, youd be ambushed and killed by a gang. Masked intruders would storm your house in the night, gang rape your wife and children and slit your throat. Your only hope would be paying the gang protection money to serve as quasi-law.

Thsts because they aren't doing their fucking job. Theyre off trying to eliminate poverty and blossom 5 year olds into an omni-gendered rainbow of sexuality. The basic function of any state is to punish moral evil (namely rape, murder, and stealing), when the state fails in that mission, the civilization collapses.
