Small Government and Anarchism

Insofar as the smallest Political unit is the Individual Person, the smallest type of Government is Individual Autonomy.  But Individual Autonomy can be the determining basis of a Political Philosophy only if it includes some thesis about collective organization, which in the case of Anarchism is Atomistic, i. e. usually that the best type of organization is universal Individual Autonomy, implicit in which is the calculation that the total strength of the Collective is the aggregate strengths of each of its members.  However, such Atomism is only a contingent doctrine, because it excludes the possibility that a visionary leader can increase the total strength by artful combination of the individual components, e. g. as a conductor orchestrates the various sounds of the individual musicians.  A similar counter-argument applies to weaker versions of 'Small Government', e. g. Libertarianism, Conservatism, etc., while exposing the premises that they can leave unaddressed when opposing 'larger' structures--the implicit premises that distinguish those doctrines from Anarchism, i. e. that at least some limitations of Individual Autonomy are conducive to the general Good, e. g. non-interference measures, etc.
