Do You Understand the Philosophy of Liberty?
Freedom Activist – Many people claim to understand the philosophy of Liberty and say, “I am for freedom.” But, are you really for freedom? Being for freedom is not as easy as most people think it is. To many, freedom simply means waving a flag or singing songs about freedom. Freedom is about more than just being “Patriotic” or having a view that is supported by a majority of people. Many people falsely equate terms like “Democracy” with freedom. Democracy is not synonymous with freedom, in fact they are quite the opposite. The Philosophy of Freedom is about more than just supporting things you happen to agree with yourself. Being for freedom means you are willing to support other people’s right to do things you don’t do. It means being big enough to accept the fact that other people may do things you don’t agree with. You may find these things, wrong, immoral, offensive, stupid, crazy or unhealthy, but they are otherwise peaceful.
As a man of freedom and peace, I have been called a gun activist, a marijuana activist, and a gay rights activist; but I am none of those…I am a freedom activist. I support the rights of competent adults to engage in any voluntary and peaceful activities they may decide to participate in…even if I may disagree with those activities. Being for freedom does not mean that you have to participate, advocate or even agree with the choices of others may make. You can disagree and even voice that disagreement while at the same time support their right to do the very thing you disagree with. Being for freedom means much more than just waving flags or singing songs. It means that you support the rights of others to engage in all voluntary transactions…as long as it is peaceful.
