The Radical Freedom Party
To anyone paying attention, it should be obvious that the current political system in America is failing. The two primary parties are superficially divided, meaning, on the surface they appear to be diametrically opposed, often out of spite rather than logic. When one digs deeper into the thought processes of the average statesman, we find that all of them are identical, their only difference coming from the states they represent. In the end, we are dealing with professional politicians following the old formula of governance: rhetoric first, leadership second or third.
I am proposing the formation of a new political party; one that seeks to destroy itself once it is in power. We will call this new party the “Radical Freedom Party.” Radical Freedom is based on the crucial fact that humans do not need to be lead; that leaders are, by design, corrupt and ineffectual.
We are espousing a form of anarchy, but not anarchy based on chaos and violence; quite the opposite. Our constituents are their own leaders who innately understand the morals and ethics required for society to function without conflict. We know a priori how to live in a community, that our freedom ends where someone else’s begins. We no longer require a written code subject to interpretation or alteration to benefit a select minority. All laws are null and void.
Personal responsibility and intuition will be the guiding forces of the new system. We will be proponents of a strict “At Your Own Risk” policy. All activities may be engaged in “at your own risk.” Remember the “pursuit of happiness”? From drug use to prostitution to overeating, everything is viable when done to yourself, when you accept the consequences.
Rather than living in a lawless society, we maintain that we can live peacefully without laws. Conflict can be settled with compassion and understanding, with discussion, or for kicks, through feats of strength and endurance. The point is that conflict will be settled by the parties involved, not a hired collection of pawns.
To be continued…
