On forgetting freedom
This talk was delivered at the Jeremy Davis Mises Circle in Houston, Texas, on January 23, 2010.
By Lew Rockwell. I'm finding it ever more difficult to describe to people the kind of world that the Mises Institute would like to see, with the type of political order that Mises and the entire classical-liberal tradition believed would be most beneficial for mankind. It would appear that the more liberty we lose, the less people are able to imagine how liberty might work. It is a fascinating thing to behold.
This has profoundly affected the political culture. We've lived through regime after regime, since at least the 1930s, in which the word freedom has been a rhetorical principle only, even as each new regime has taken away ever more freedom. Can read the rest here. Fred

Re: On forgetting freedom
Fred,you are spot on, man!
This is the longterm System`s plan to wipe the essential meaning of the Freedom, and transforming this word into something abstract. They want us to think that it is impossible to reach true socio-political liberty. I truly believe this is turning point for humanity, will we return our natural/universal right, or The System will succeed to bury people`s impulses for freedom. The victory over the swine flu/vaccine propaganda shows that the slavery is still only physical/economical, but not psychological or mental, no matter how brutal psychological wars they are pushing against us. The fire of Freedom will never be turned off. Love&Respect |
