Does it make you controlling if you want to fix what you think is wrong with the society system?

That depends on how far you are willing to go, I think. Organizing people around an idea and using social pressures to correct unfavorable behaviors is not something I consider controlling. Trying to fix social system at threat of lives and liberty definitely is. The problem there is in liberty. Different people view liberty differently. Is economic liberty or social liberty more important? How do you define them? Are they inherently linked? Different people would give vastly different answers. For one person economic liberty is Free Markets. For another person, economic liberty is a post-monetary society where wealth is not a limiter to what one can choose to do.

@ViciDraco So as long as you are not killing anyone or talking away someone's free will ( ability to choose ) it's all good ?

@Pureblossom Even then there are limits. Violation of free will is justified, I feel, if it would prevent a murder. It's hard to draw lines in the sand when you are not upon the beach. Meaning context is everything and without it there is just too much uncertainty.
