DECLARATION OF FREEDOM:
- I own myself.
- I have individual rights.
- No one has the right to violate my freedom.
SELF-OWNERSHIP:
Self-ownership is an important part of being human. You own yourself. You own your body. You own your labor. Without self-ownership, there is no freedom.
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS:
As humans we own ourselves therefore we have individual rights. Individual rights are rights all humans have and no one can legally take away from us.
- The right to privacy - No one has the right to violate my privacy.
- The right to self-defense - I can defend myself, my property, and my freedom.
- The right to free speech - I can communicate my opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or censorship.
- The right to liberty - Liberty is freedom from permission. I can do what I want, as long as I do not violate the freedom of others.
Individual rights supersedes any law that politicians make up. Any law that violates our rights is null and void. Anyone that violates our rights is a criminal.
NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO VIOLATE MY FREEDOM:
- No one has the right to harm me.
- No one has the right to threaten me.
- No one has the right to steal from me.
- No one has the right to violate my individual rights.
NON-AGGRESSION PRINCIPLE (NAP):
Initiating force or fraud against another is wrong and that the use of force is only justified when used in defense of aggression.
VOLUNTARYISM:
Interactions between people should be voluntary and free of force, fraud, and threats.
THE PRICE OF FREEDOM:
There will always be people who try to violate our freedom. To remain free we have to be willing and able to defend our freedom.
