We are free

What is there to fear in freedom? Surely it is only a lack of freedom, from whatever source, which is to be feared? It is the collectivists and the Socialists who aspire to restrict freedom and are thus the ones to be feared. Luckily they are not so much in agreement these days on how best to hinder freedom, so that gives us hope. They do not have a guiding manifesto, so much these days...

Socialism restricts freedom. Crime is defined by an (unjustified) imposition on the freedoms of another person, and so by definition, Socialism is a crime. The truth does not want us to be Socialists because it tells us that we have made a contradiction in our thinking if we endorse this philosophy. Socialism fails the test of consistency, it is incorrect. Is freedom incorrect?

Can freedom be falsified? The lack of freedom is the test (to falsify) any other political proposal so it is unlikely that we can show freedom denies freedom anywhere. We use an assumption of the benevolence of freedom in testing any other (moral) philosophy, so how can it be used against itself? Freedom is the test against which all other 'moral' theories are measured. We assume it to be worthy. When we discuss morality, if we are not a moral nihilist, then the advantage of freedom is usually assumed, we find. So why not go the extra step and allow freedom in all areas?

Genocide and killing everyone would not be an effective moral to be within each one of us, if we are to survive as a species. Biology and life selects for animals which do not violate freedom to too great an extent; if you are too aggressive, you will get killed. We generally want others to survive because it improves the species and the gene pool. So why would we want to tax ourselves?

Socialism is bad because it restricts freedom. Socialism is bad for the same reason that stealing is bad; it restricts freedom which in itself is sufficient reason to reject it. Freedom is the (de facto) test of all moral theories. Freedom is the best outcome, it is what nature wants, because it is easier and crime is difficult and does not pay. Freedom is favoured by nature. If we act only defensively, freedom will emerge...

The universe is freedom, we are free. Who would not want freedom? You are free, whether you like it or not.
