Government Violates One's Only Right

Everything the State does involves violating the natural right of man. I intentionally use the singular form of natural right because there really only is one right and that is the right to be free of the initiation of force. There could not be a positive right because it will always necessarily violate a positive right of a different individual. Therefor, positive rights is a self destructing concept. The right from the initiation of force is obligatory to defining freedom, the power to determine action without restraint. The only way for something to be a law of nature, which a natural right by definition is derived from, it must be consistent in it's explanation across all applications in all points of space. For instance, the law of thermodynamics is the same no matter how it is applied or when or where. If you cool a hot potato in Idaho in 2013 it will lose energy just as it would in Greece in 1700 BCE. The only way one individual can take as a universal law that they should live with the power to determine their own action without restraint, they must make sure to not restrain the power of others to determine their own action. The logical conclusion is that the only natural right that can be is the right from the initiation of force, and this natural right is the only moral that can be honored to attain freedom and consequentially peace. Once you go on honoring any positive right you have violate another's natural right, thus their freedom, thus their state of peace. The State represents society's collective ignorance to this fact manifested as institutionalized freedom violation.
