Wonderful!

Free minds and free markets!

Every and all political systems will have to contend with legacy problems like the ones you mentioned. Sadly, the best way forward may simply be to draw a line and admit some people lucked out in the past through unjust means. Trying to redistribute their property more fairly will likely cause more havoc and end up hurting the most vulnerable in society. Just look at Zimbabwe -- the Africans redistributed white farm lands to blacks but it ruined the economy.

not owned, not self owned, not alone, not identified or exceptioned by any concept of ownership, even of self- this still implies that the aquisition of life and liberty comports an greater character and a greater liberty, and leads to non-forceful abilities, called neglect which whimsically preclude that as my ownership of self, I may refuse social duty to my fellow citizens- there is no social contract offered in this video, based on property and opens the door to sins of inaction as well.

* I shouldn't say capitalist- I should say economic, it is not an alternative economic option, because socialism is not economic- just as liberty is not actually rooted in property- again, this is playing the corporate game- it used to be landed citizens had more rights, now corporations have all the rights- if you wish to have liberty for the human, you cannot cast it as superior or alternate forms of those notions- you have to break the mould- liberty is that which makes humans full and real

I am not knocking its idea- only that it is insufficient, it is pitting the human as an alternative to the corporate state- but this will lead to issues- like pretending communism was an alternative to capitalism- it's just not true- socialism is not alternative, b/c it's social, concerned with people, and is not an alternative to capital- it's in a completely different realm, just as the human and its social duties should not be made to counter act corporatism cast as superior indiv. form of it

This video has some problems from the get go- for instance, it is clearly not a process by which to render what the meaning of liberty is- but a reaction to corporate market corruption- 'I own my life', is not a universal context for liberty, it doesn't touch on 'WHY I SHOULD OWN MY LIFE?'. And it suffers from the same corporate habit of reducing humanity to commodities- albeit an improvement, but still, only self-possessed, a utility, not integral, and to what importance?

@adkjshane So being respectful of others and their ideas makes one a pussy?
