RE: Freedom is about people

in #freedom6 years ago

How about a "resource base economy", to get rid of money to have freedom in ourselves. We have the technology to feed all people in the world, we have the tech. that abundance in resources is possible. Money is literally a root of all evil, once we get rid of it, we gonna have a society free from oppression and abuse from elites.

Sort:  

If you get rid of trade based on individual self-ownership, which is the origin of sound money, you are going to have a bloodbath, as demonstrated time and time again historically now. Someone (an evil bastard usually) will be calling the shots and deciding centrally, and arbitrarily, who gets what. This of course results in the poor and underprivileged being crushed.

You are 100% correct that all of these things could be done right now. There must be a universalizable level playing field in place, however, where no man has greater rights than another, and this must be based on ISO (individual self-ownership). Money is not evil, but some people are. Affording them seats of high power and virtual godhood (what the state does) is the true problem in my view.

Sound money dignifies humans by rewarding them for their work and labor, done via the body they own. Have they spent time, energy, or resources to do or make something? They reap the benefits. Corrupt, state-sanctioned debt dollars create havoc, misery, and infinite and untold bloodshed, and are a system of slavery that says, essentially: WE OWN your body, your time, your labor, so give us your money.

Am totally in support of your view. I think the blood thirsty leaders are just about useless. Imagine what one said recently calling the youths of his country lazy, when he could hardly point out five schemes in which he has helped the youth face the scourge of unemployment, if only the whole system is decentralized so that every human owns a decent life
