Journal Marxist Hacker 42's Journal: Fiscal Libs, Sexual Libs, Drug Libs, Conservatives 42

Just leave us alone.
What motivates liberals and progressives:
1. Addiction to change for fiscal profit
2. Addiction to change for sexual abuse
3. Addiction to change for new drugs
But the natural divide on the other side is CONSERVATIVES- the need to conserve. Change addicts have many things they want to change. But Change Skeptics have nowhere to go in the storm.

The psychopaths with all the heavy weaponry prefer to conserve the evils from the past, war, colonialism, prohibition, the many rules that don't apply to them. They are conserving their own little monarchy and social status - [Edit:] through the use of force. There will never be peace that way.
Real liberalism, briefly defined as:
a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but they generally support free markets, free trade, limited government, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), capitalism, democracy, secularism, gender equality, racial equality, internationalism, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion.

Looks good on the surface, but in practice, it breaks down based on individual preference to one of the three abuses of liberty above.
Re: (Score:1)
If it "breaks down", it isn't liberalism. Liberals don't abuse their liberty to harm others. And using their liberty to protect others from undue authority is not abuse
Re: (Score:2)
Then I have yet to meet a liberal, because every single one I know abuses the system in one of those three ways.
Re: (Score:1)
:-) You just don't recognize a liberal, maybe because you consider some things abusive that are not
Re: (Score:2)
Oh, I'm pretty sure usury is abusive. I'm VERY sure homosexuality and birth control are abusive. What was the third one again? Oh yes, drugs are horribly abusive when used improperly. Just look at your local methhead to see that- or even the guy abusing "legal" marijuana or alcohol, wasting away their life in a daze.
Re: (Score:1)
Usury is not liberal. Sexual proclivities are personal, there is no right to regulate that. And yes, there are abusers in any field. That's not a liberal thing. And besides, self abuse is not the same as abusing others to force conformity
Re: (Score:2)
1. Usury is liberal in that it is the free exercise of property.
2. Sexual abuse is liberal in that it is the free exercise of "proclivities".
3. You are connected to your entire community- any self-abuse abuses the community.
The real error of liberalism is that a man is an island, and his actions do not affect others.

No, usuary is conserving a predatory financial practice. Nothing "liberal" about it. On the other hand life on their level is true anarchy. They do as they please without consequence.

Unfortunately that is exactly how the reactionary conservative believes. They do what they want with no concerns for anyone else. Liberals recognize what is communal and what is not.

A conserving financial practice is to realize that money left in the marketplace rots away, so you should have a storehouse for it- a secure storehouse with locks and weapons.
It takes a liberal to use usury to steal from others.
EVERYTHING is communal. There is nothing that is not.

Liberals aren't predatory. There is no liberalism in the patriarchy.
There is communal connection in all things, not communal possession, unless there is no individual

The concept of capitalistic private property is liberal. A true conservative monarchist sees all property rights as deriving from Altar and Throne.

Only "conservatives" think like that, they need the food I guess. Liberals will tear down the walls, make powerful rich people live by the same rules they put upon us, or better, eliminate their rules so we can enjoy the same freedom and privileges they do

That there is a reason why the saying goes that a young man who is not a liberal has no heart and an old man who is not a conservative has no brains?
The more mature your thinking actually becomes, the more conservative you will be, because you want to avoid the mistakes of the past.
