I was more commenting on whether or not the kind of human traits that Makishima seems to idealize the most are unique victims to the oppression of the Sybil system. Because if you ultimately idealize total free expression of will and desire, any kind of organize society is going to come off as too oppressive to be acceptable.

You chose the worng post to quote then. I'm not framing Shougo as an anti-hero here. To give you the gist of it, he's an individual who sees himself as an existence outside the system. If you combine that with his huge ego, you basically have a megalomaniac who believes himself to be in a position to judge everyone else. I don't think he's doing these things for anyone's benefit but his own.
