Where a group of individuals can live differently than another group of individuals but still have equal impact on government, that's more fair than a bigger group dominating a smaller group. Each can live the way they choose without dictating to the other.
When ya live like you want to and your neighbors can live like they want to and nobody's rights steamroller anybody else's rights, THAT'S what real liberty's all about.

But real liberty cannot be found in a communist system because the individual's rights are forfeighted to the community. When the community takes precedence over the individual, then you have real "mob rule."
