Should Libertarians make an army?
The more you know, the more you realize in how many spheres of society are people manipulated by the state. It’s aggression to people is quite shallow in comparison to everything’s been done to make people lose their faith (mainly attacking the Catholic church), be against electing something as true and calling other things not logical, understanding a moral meaning to arts and so on — basically whatever makes a person similar to an animal or slave.
I think more Austro-Libertarians should become full fledged philosophers (in the sense of having knowledge) because if we have the purpose of being truly free and freeing other people, we should stop being enslaved to any ideology. I, myself, am Catholic, Thomist-phenomenological and Austro-Libertarian, therefore I have:
- An orientation for where to lead my actions towards in order to acquire integral and eternal happiness.
- An entire body of trustworthy people which tradition dates from ancient times (all documented by the same institution) which is a great direction to take if we consider lots of knowledge — historical knowledge for example — has been censored or hidden by the states over time.
- Access to an immense archive of philosophical knowledge trusted by the authorities of the Church I follow that goes about every science which makes me able to follow a safe path towards wisdom and freeing myself from all ideologies — Thomism is compatible with Austro-Libertarianism as it apparently derives from the same comprehension of logic.
- Very little altered history dating to at least 6,000 years back which is realistic (although sometimes supra-logical) and understanding of what happened for humanity to end up in this totally inhumane contemporary times.
A necessary step to make is to analyze what people, organizations and ideologies are pulling the strings of the United Nations and those who follow the same ideals. I’d say the ideology of “Marcuse” of the Frankfurt School is the hidden king of the current world, the current understanding that every ideology should be tolerated apart of those who disagree with that idea and the understanding of universal equality as being ideal is his. I could speak more about this but this is not the topic of which I’ve came to talk about.
Now, considering you guys are actually interested in integral freedom as I have talked about in the initial part of this post, is it ethical for Austro-Libertarians to come up with something like a Revolutionary Army from One Piece in real life — as if UN were the World Government along with the current states? I’ve thought about this quite often, in a simplistic manner, if the states are aggressive, why can’t we actually organize ourselves in a manner where we go against it in a more general manner? It could also serve the purpose of sharing the truth and stopping societal manipulation altogether. What do you guys think?
