POLL: Individual Freedom is the foundation of a successful civil society.

[Pilot1]

Many people don't want freedom and liberty today. They want government to give them stuff and tell them what to do like the serfs they are. Democrats all.

 

[PK1]

Full Individual Freedom can only occur when that individual is ALONE.
In society, there must be compromises among ALL individuals (incl the upper 1% in the US).
These compromises should be “ethical”, similar to the “Golden Rule” concept.

 

[PK1]

It should be illegal to be a Muslim.

It should be illegal to brainwash any citizen with any religious BS.

So you are saying there should be a law against atheists?

You appear to be ignorant about atheism.
A-theist: one who is NOT a theist.
BTW, i am not a strong atheist.

Everyone likes to get free stuff, but the people who are duped into supporting socialism simply don't understand what what it costs them in the long run.

Such a general statement; there are many forms/degrees of “socialism”.
Those societies in Scandinavia seem to be very happy.

I understand atheism perfectly. It is a belief about the existence of God, just and Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc. are. If, as you propose, it should be illegal for people who have other beliefs about God to share these beliefs, it should also be illegal for atheists to share their beliefs about God.

Anarchy and Communism suffer the same problem as they ignore the existence of assholes.

With anarchy its assholes with more power than you locally (bigger gun, more of them), with communism is assholes with more power than you in charge of things.

And in capitalism we are mere slaves of the monied masters..

No, there is only one widely accepted definition about socialism and that is that the government controls the means of production, and the Scandinavian countries are not socialist. The only socialist countries in the world today are China, Cuba, Laos and Vietnam.

You do NOT understand. An atheist has NO BELIEFS about Gods/gods. Hence, a-theist.

 

[Mac1958]

Disagree, because "individual freedom" is a matter of degree and therefore cannot be specifically defined.

 

[Moonglow]

Agree, because *intrusive* government sucks.

Oh you mean like a govt. that declares war against its own citizen to fight drugs and terrorism? Like the one Donald Trump is the figure head for.

 

[Pilot1]

Anytime government gives you anything it is accompanied by more control and less freedom . Many today just don't care. They are mindless drones. Democrats all.

There is NOT only one definition of socialism!

Socialism is a range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management,[10] as well as the political theories and movements associated with them.[11] Social ownership can be public, collective or cooperativeownership, or citizen ownership of equity.[12] There are many varieties of socialism and there is no single definition encapsulating all of them,[13] with social ownership being the common element shared by its various forms.

Definition in Wikipedia:

Atheism is, in the broadest sense, the absence of belief in the existence of deities.

Read your post. Socialism always means government ownership - I would have said control - of the means of production by one means or another. This condition does not exist in the Scandinavian countries.

Anarchy works until your neighbors decide to join forces to take yo shiet

Which violates the NAP. Under such a violation, it is incumbent upon the person having the shit to light up the fuckers coming to take his shit.

Exactly what I said, it is a belief that God does not exist, which is a belief about God.
