Harm others, no. The rule of natural law is the only valid law.

While I understand the appeal of natural law, it is important to remember that in a society with complex structures and systems, there are often competing interests that must be balanced. In order to ensure the protection of individual rights and liberties, it is necessary to have legal frameworks in place.

Natural law can provide a useful framework for understanding individual rights and freedoms. However, without legal structures in place to enforce these principles and protect individuals from harm or exploitation by others, they may not be effective or sustainable.

It is important to work towards creating more just and equitable legal frameworks while still respecting the principles of natural law. This requires careful balance between competing interests as well as ongoing efforts towards education, transparency, and accountability within existing systems.

The free market fixes all of that. As soon as you centralize control in government form, that control begins to grow itself with the power of fear until it becomes tyrannical. The current corporate-government merger in the US is what ends up happening. Business chases money, period. Government chases power, period. Without the strongarm power of the government, the free market acts as the Jake brake on corporate greed as consumer choice adapts to eliminate negative actors.

As a follow up, we need to realize that we can't eliminate negative action, we can only limit the negative consequence of it. This is done by creating an environment that kills feedback loops exploited by those negative actors, such as the negative feedback loop of government subsidies and policy-based favortism.
