Depends on the type of government. True, all governments can have an idealistic purpose or potential for one, if those implementing chose as much, and it really depends on whether or not one agrees with or cares about the purpose put forth. Cultural and individual choices play their parts at that point

That would be a government along the lines of libertarianism. But true freedom is had without government at all since any government will hold power and law at some degree against complete freedom. If anything, this type of government would add security to the types of freedoms people exhibit in order to achieve an ideal state.
That's how I see it.
