The local laws of El paso are
altough the abolition of land lords is also desirable
Is it desirable?
That's a big assumption
It is for the citizens of a nation to decide border policy, thats what makes nations sovereign. No one else has the "right" to cross the border into to associate with someone else in the same way person A can't trespass on person B's property to associate with someone else if person B isn't consenting
This doesn't sound like freedom at all.
Sounds like some bastardized definition of freedom
Hell, freedom itself is a dumb word
Yes, people worrying about where to sleep and eat makes them less free, it's a loaded gun pushing them into actions they would otherwise not take
Define freedom
Living in a commune with my communist friends
That doesn't answer anything
That is true freedom
Okay, so freedom of association
You and your friends
Yes freedom from landlords
oppresive forces of the market
freedom from government
You can still be 100% free and still need to worry about food and shelter. After all, if you were out in a perfect state of nature you are "free" but you are not free from consequences
Okay. But do you have the right to impose that on someone who's not your friend?
@-5K- Only if resources are poorly alocated in our commune they won't be right komrad?
Because it's freedom
How?
Anything else is just not freedom
So it's not freedom of association.
You define freedom as 'free from the oppression of reality' or something
There is no such thing as absolute freedom. It is something simply unsustainable and impossible to achieve
Freedom is when we achieve communism brother
No land lords
Yeah, freedom is a weird undefined word at this point.
Aaaand now I know you're just a troll
Anarcho Communism on paper is perhaps the closest thing to freedom
however unattainable
Freedom (in the way I assume we are talking about) doesn't mean being free from want or need, just free from the coercion and power of others. And yes it in its perfect form is unattainable
Anarcho Communism is way more free than anarcho capitalism for example
indeed
the market oppresses and forces people into actions not desirable, it's literally a loaded gun forcing people to be slaves while their bosses steal all their labour
The closest thing to freedom would be going out in the wild with no one else around and with no one else knowing nor caring about you
The yeah, we don't have anywhere close to the same definition of freedom
@-5K- a state of nature
One cannot be free while individuals profit from others work
I can't be free unless I have the ability to pay people for their work
Pay? Why'd you need to pay someone when there is no market?
