GOVERNMENTS HAVE NO RIGHTS.
Let me help you:
– A right consists, and can only consist of, and can only be created by, a group of insurers, who will insure a right. A right to demand an insurer defend one’s interest against those who impose upon them (deprive, harm, impeded).
– To create this insurance, people form polities, and eventually governments and militaries to insure those rights.
– So There is only one universal cause of rights: reciprocal insurance of self-determination by self-determined means: individual sovereignty over display, word, deed, and the proceeds obtained by them, withougt violating the sovereignty of others by the same criteria.
– All other rights are mere application of the right to self-determination by self-determined means.
– Only people can have rights. And people can organize into polities, states, alliances, and federations to secure rights for their people.
– Governments cannot have rights.
– Governments have capabilities – not rights.
– Governments can create, deny, or destroy rights.
– Western civilization is organized to construct rights.
– Western governments are organized to construct rights.
– Westerners may disagree on what constitutes a right, and seek to (falsely) claim rights extend to wants, privileges, and wishful thinking. But we do not disagree that we should construct rights.
– When rights are constructed by people, governments, militaries, states, and federations, then empires are effectively prohibited. Because empires depend on depriving people of rights – particularly the right to self-determination by self-determined means.
– The small, homogeneous, nation-state is the only political system under which rights are possible without depriving some other group of their want of the right of self-determination by self-determined means.
– As such, under our right of self-determination by self-determined means, and the human rights necessary to preserve it, we are limited to producing safety in numbers,
by alliances of nation-states in federations – and we are prohibited from empires.
– This is the cause of remaining world conflict: China, Russia, and Iran – and anyone wishing to increase borders, are the remaining empires. Those empires have ‘castes’ (elites) that profit by predation (corruption) on their people.
– And Russia, China, Iran (and those few remaining despotic regimes that prey on their people) wish to conquer and deprive other people of self-determination by self-determined means.
– Insuring rights to self-determination by self-determined means, provides the opportunity and incentive for cooperation, provides rule of law to facilitate and defend cooperation, and suppress corruption (as much as possible at least).
– And the evidence across the world is that every group of people is seeking that sovereignty necessary to produce self-determination by self-determined means and the rights necessary under it.
– So just as farming spread around the world, creating states and empires, industry is spreading around the world creating nation-states and federations.
– Would the people of China, Russia, and Iran prefer self-determination by human rights? Of course. They say so.
– Also would the people of the world prefer to defend against the abuse of rights we call ‘liberalism’ that defend decadence, which is an imposition upon the rights to self-determination by self-determined means, that require the production of the first organization upon which all others depend in order to produce an intergenerational polity: the family? Yes.
– The west does not live under rights, sufficient to preserve the family, and as a consequence, society, economy, and polity necessary to preserve those rights – because the west has licensed baiting into the hazard of decadence, as a harm to the institution of the family, and as a consequence, the society, economy, and polity.
– As such, we must clarify the law, to prevent ‘harms’ of ‘liberalism’ (selfishness) harming the polity. (We did.)
