Law of Freedom, Part 3

To fully understand the Law of Freedom requires understanding definitions that relate to it. Freedom is based in morality. Freedom is based on not having slavery. Slavery is the theft of rights by making false claims of ownership. Rights are actions that don’t initiate harm.

Learn definitions to understand the power the words hold.

A right is an action that doesn’t inherently initiate harm to another sentient being. Initiating harm (a wrong) is theft of rightful property. Property is based in ownership. The default ownership of a sentient being is their body and their will: self-ownership. Other rightful property is acquired by mixing labor with natural resources (original appropriation) or voluntary exchanges. There are 7 primary property violations (wrongs), which are thefts of types of property.

Slavery is a false claim of ownership (theft) on another’s rightful property. A society of slavery is when there is an accepted, widespread and persistent or repeating claim of ownership on others’ property.

Immoral behavior (theft) is a false claim of ownership (FCO), and de facto enslavement. Taking property from someone who initiated no harm (non-violent) is taking their freedom, which is creating slavery. Making non-violent people do (or not do) things by threat of violence is coercion (FCO). A society that views some people (authorities) as having the “moral right” to issue commands that others have a “moral” obligation to obey under penalty of violence (FCO), is a society of slavery where some are masters who have authority over others who are slaves.

Slavery has to be created, it’s not the default condition of a being. True Freedom is the default and gets degraded by immoral behavior.

True Freedom is the absence of persistent or repeating false claims of ownership (i.e., slavery) in the aggregate; with the respect of everyone’s Natural Rights and their defense when not respected.

Preserving and restoring freedom comes from free will. Free will has consent. Violating someone’s consent for what they allow to be done with their rightful property is taking that property and freedom away from them (theft), and creating a temporary or persistent condition of the opposite of freedom: slavery. A temporary theft is an injustice that temporarily degrades True Freedom, while persistent conditions of theft create the condition of persistent slavery.

Everyone has the right to unimpeded use of their rightful property and to live by voluntary/consensual interactions with others. Those who initiate harm (theft) abandon their right to consent to harm and can have negative consequences applied.
