Non-domination is less skeptical of government but socially more radical than non-interference

Evidence

When it comes to the specific policies that the ideal of freedom as non-domination would support—particularly, the policies it would support in combating the sort of domination associated with private dominium or resources—two things stand out: one, that the ideal is politically less sceptical than the ideal of freedom as non-intereference, since it recognizes the possibility of non-dominating government; and two, that it is socially more radical, since it requires not just the absence of arbitrary interference but the absence of capacities for arbitrary interference. — Philip Pettit, Republicanism, 1253
