When freedom is announced to become subservient to "greater good" then next transformation, that freedom means anarchy, i.e. it is dangerous, comes easy.The concept of greater good is the foundation of civilization. You cannot have specialization without co-operation, rules of engagement and organization. Once a group of co-operating people reaches a certain size, you need professional organizers. In a private company they're called executives; at a country level we call them politicians.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
