About this Quote

John Perry Barlow's quote suggests that libertarians need to be similarly concerned about the power of organizations as they have to do with the power of federal governments. He believes that services can be just as oppressive and invasive as governments, and that libertarians need to be aware of this. He is recommending that libertarians need to be vigilant in keeping track of the activities of organizations, and that they ought to be simply as important of companies as they are of governments. He is likewise suggesting that libertarians should be proactive in advocating for policies that protect residents from the potential abuses of businesses. By doing so, libertarians can ensure that companies are held accountable for their actions and that citizens are protected from possible abuses of power.
