THE LOGIC OF LIBERTY AND PROPERTY INVERTED

Instead of defining liberty as a statement of victimhood – as rebellion by the weak: rights to property, we can state liberty as a positive – assertions by the strong: rights if exclusion and prohibitions on parasitism.

NECESSARY RIGHTS

1) Right of Private Property (right of exclusion from use)

2) Right of Boycott (right of exclusion from trade)

3) Right of Secession (right of exclusion from governance)

Unless you have these three rights of exclusion, you are not free. You merely have permission.

All rights are rights of exclusion. A fact which is missing from the logic of ethics.

Freedom is the right to exclude, and that exclusion is what makes voluntary cooperation the only possible moral action we can take.

By exclusion we boycott cooperation with those who do not engage in equally moral suppression of free riding.

By the promise of violence we insure our boycott.

This is the logic of aristocracy vs the logic of bourgeoisie and proletarian.

The weak beg. The strong demand.
