Rule by Choice vs Rule by Force

And I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
Let me live that fantasy
--Lorde

Some people strive to rule over others. Some people are satisfied with being ruled by others. Still other people disdain rule by force--that it is unjust for some to forcibly rule others.

That does not mean that markets for rule cannot be made. As long as those seeking to rule and those wanting to be ruled do so voluntarily, then the relationship is acceptable.

What is wrong is when rule is forced on those who do not prefer it. Doing so violates the unalienable right to liberty endowed to us by our Creator.
