| This is like a whole giant blob of assumptions and cultural bias. The only thing thats natural is law of the jungle, and the wish of the strongest. Otherwise known as the monarchy. No need for a capitalist revolution? Did the monarchy give up power willingly? The french revolution, the american revolution, etc. The only 'freedom' that exists in the natural world is the law of the jungle. You want freedom but want to live in a society?
The idea of police and public prosecution, of justice and judges are all recent inventions. Without them, what stops me from taking whatever is yours and assures your freedom. How do you even come into possesion of land, water or any resource in the natural world? Apparently some people's idea of freedom means they can wonder around the city spreading deadly disease. I would very much like freedom from them coughing in my vicinity and infecting me. Some people think they have freedom to shoot me in the face if they feel 'scared', while i value freedom from getting shot. Some people believ they have freedom to pollute the air with sulphur oxide, while i believe they should have to pay the cost it takes to clean up their pollution. Any freedom for you is an obligation on me, and vice versa. |
