Freedom and Egality
the definition of Liberty is acting according to one plans without the interference from government as long as the action does not arm others freely.
Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy of choice and political freedom. And political freedom is freedom from oppression, coercion or any condition that would alter one’s capacity to act freely.
Because no one lives alone on this planet we all interact each other in the functioning Society. When resources are the ownership of a man directly that person acquire a certain level of power depending on the importance of his possession for the others members of a given group.
From that point on the relation of equality required to be free is broken because one depend on another in order to for security and food.
Libertarianism without a governing body in the market to pass law for workers is Anarchocapitalism If no organization re-establish balance of bargaining power in the social relationship of the owner with the labourer. We get the return of serfdom because one person can basically decide to change one economical condition from day to night.
The Logical argument against that would be tell the worker to move into a different company. As we live in the free market system are incentivized to provide the cheapest possible therefore if one organization decides to cut the salary employee the others would have to follow sooner or later in order. Cohersion between employers at the sest scale and corporation have always been existant.
Libertarian society have exist. In the past in Spain Anarchosyndicalist revolution of the 1930s were direct democracy and workers control of the means of production was introduced in the country of Spain. Some individuals obviously had role that provided them with more power than others. How did everyone make sure for the bureaucrate to not accumulate all the power ? Direct democracy were everyone vote is equal and temporary stance in a position of power like bureaucrate or director of operation.
TLDR; Liberty and equality go hands in hands. human are always finding ways to increase their bargaining power and position and if no governing body is balancing this power inequality that made one’s loss their freedom we are in a relationship of serfdom. We can all agree the feudalism was not the model of personal freedom or the libertarian paradise.
Interaction, debate and more activities that elevate the collective intelligence are encouraged.
