Tyranny and liberty.

Name: Anonymous 2006-12-24 23:24

Every post people are whine about examples of different ideas under tyranny and push their ideas by providing exampleos of it working under liberty. In truth whether a government is tyrannical or libertarian is the biggest deciding factor in politics.

We should all get together and say, while we disagree about the finer points of [insert subject here] we all agree that tyranny is bullshit and would unite if someone started persecuting people for exercising their right to the freedom of speech or other tyrannical acts.

What can we learn from this? We should all compare and contrast our ideas when they occurred under a libertarian government in order to compare and contrast instead of going "LOL HITLAR".

Merry christmas.

Tyranny is to subjective for this to work, for example, most people think buisness is tyrannical which by definition it's not.

or under a benevolent dictator because that is the ideal government for superimposing your ideas for a perfect society

Businesses are not tyrannical if they obey the law. You are being paid to work by the business in a contract you agreed to before employment, your civil rights are coverred and you can quit any time you want.

Business interests are to maximize profits. To do this they want to maximize revenues and minimize costs. Costs are wages, investments in workplace security, overtime bonus etc. So, if business interests are allowed to influence a society, one can expect that that society will not have a minimum wage, no regulation   on security, no regulation on hiring and firing (because of race, sex, ideology, union membership etc), no right to strike, all ages are allowed to be labor etc. A society like this is not hard to imagine, and it is not what i would call a free society, whatever the law would state, whatever a freedom of press would exist and whatever the society would be democratic. A democracy can be tyrannical.

Of course democracies are tyrannical, the majority oppresses the minority.  It happens all the time.

It would be unfair if the minority had too much power over the majority. You don't force all your friends to play counterstrike with you if they think it is lame.

Thats why governments should be based on freedom/liberty and not just democracy...something most americans forget far to often

Most Americans think liberty means the freedom to do whatever that particular American wants to do, including shove your beliefs down other people's throats.

Democracies generally have constitutions. That's what I meant.

Constitutions and democracies are incompatible. A country cannot stay within the bounds of a constitution designed to preserve liberty while being democratic. Because democracy is defintionally tyrannical.

Two wolves and a sheep voting for dinner is incompatible with two wolves obeying a constitution saying "do not eat the sheep".

The world, as you know it, won't be the same. Something unseen in the last 60 years is already happening and it will affect you and your family in an unimaginable way.

The president and the government know about it but they keep it quiet. Revealing it on TV would generate mass chaos and riots, but still, I think you have the right to know it.

Here's the video report that has given me nightmares for the last 3 nights: http://www.backyardliberty.org
