A form of Voluntaryism or Voluntarism. The idea of Golden-Ruleism is that all transactions and interactions must be voluntary. Golden-Ruleism believes that a government can be voluntary, only holding up the popular moral principle "The Golden Rule". If you treat someone how you wouldn't want to be treated, or more specifically, how the majority of people want to be treated (This is to specify for people who don't understand how other people feel or hate themselves), the government holds this as illegal and can detain you. This relates to Voluntaryism because of the idea of being detained is fine, as long as the wrongdoer used coercion intentionally on another person. Golden-Ruleism just specifies that rather than blatantly saying "Voluntary actions", laws must be made based on whether the majority of people would like the same thing so happen to them.
The ideology of Golden-Ruleism is the backbone of a majority of governments, and is the only necessary restriction of human ability and action.
Golden-Ruleism is a useless daydream, never to be achieved.
