The Philosophy of Liberty

When you hear Ron Paul say that he stands for the Philosophy of Liberty, this is what he means.

The philosophy of liberty is based on self-ownership. This simple but elegant and hard-hitting animation will explain exactly what that means. It's a great tool anyone can use to educate children and adults about our right to life, liberty, and the property we create - and our responsibility to think, speak and act.

I love this video : so simple and so clear ! Well done, philosophyofliberty ! This is the proof that one doesn't need a lot of academic words to express things that are deeply true.

How is it possible to fund a military without taxes? Taxes are, as you say, theft. So it's impossible to have a country without being a victim of theft??!!!??

John Locke wrote about unalienable rights in the 1600's. Life, liberty, and Property. Property in an agrarian society means a lot more than what it infers today. Property in the 1600's meant having the ability to provide for the welfare and survival of your family without having to depend on an outside enterprise.

This was freedom. Today most of us depend on a corporation for our ability to provide for a family. We are no longer free.

You are a slave.

@You3P Than likewise the philosophy of selfownership and the idea of owning something is a fairy tale too!

This discussion was only on the level of ideas not on the understanding of needs,hence no proof at all!

the result: The golden rule="Who has the gold rules!"=law of the jungle!

[You3P]

@agnostoatomo There ain't no such a thing as a "common will"! This discussion should be proof enough...

So you can't organize a society around a thing which does not exist. You yoursellf call such a society "utopian" (which is really just another word for "fairy tale" ideas).

[agnostoatomo]

@You3P self organized people,based on the common will 2 fullfill each others principle needs out of self protection & the consequent ethical values,apreciated by nearly all societies around the globe since thousands of years,narrated through the most philosophies&religions boiled down in the sentence:

What i don't want to encounter myself i won't do to others!

i know,still utopian 4 todays human species,still ruled by the reptilian brain,but Evolution is a mindful one or none in a few decades.

[You3P]

@agnostoatomo so in such a society who gets to decide what kind of shelter you get?? (how big, with which amenities, location etc...)

[agnostoatomo]

@You3P If "anybody" takes it from you,than this means declaring ownership over something that nobody owns,don't you get it?You have the outspoken need of a shelter and the human community in which you live accepts that,because of equality of needs for rest etc. and organized it with you,than there is noone who can get away with forcing you out there.In an ownership organized society this happens everyday by overpowering through money!
