Every single person wants control over their own life. However to accomplish most things in life, people have to work together. How they decide what and how is the definition of politics. I consider each such political activity as a separate government. How that particular government is organized, who decides and how the others hold that decider responsible, is the fine grain of freedom or tyranny, and differs in each case. A Progressive Libertarian seeks the balance between committees that can't decide anything, and autocrats that can't be held responsible for exploiting all the others. The more diverse the grain the easier the accountability, if there is a larger scale enforcer of accountability or competing powers. A large scale dilutes accountability, no matter if that scale is a state run enterprise, or a large corporation, church, union, or even social club. By the same token scale concentrates power so competing powers cannot compete. This accounts for the increasing scale of all social systems and the equal loss of freedom. A progressive Libertarian would work to increase accountability of power and dilute scale.
