MORALITY IS THAT SIMPLE: EITHER VOLUNTARYISM OR VIOLENCE--CHOOSE

THE VOLUNTARYIST
“Voluntaryists are advocates of non-political, non-violent strategies to achieve a free society. We reject electoral politics, in theory and in practice, as incompatible with libertarian principles. Governments must cloak their actions in an aura of moral legitimacy in order to sustain their power, and political methods invariably strengthen that legitimacy. Voluntaryists seek instead to delegitimize the State through education, and we advocate withdrawal of the cooperation and tacit consent on which State power ultimately depends.”

And what is Personally Responsible Freedom?
It is the taking of total personal responsibility for your freedom of action as it involves other persons and is based on 4 Moral Virtues:
1. Everything Voluntary--No Initiation of Force 2. Private Property
3. Free Trade 4. Contractual Obligation
Heartland, the below painting by Robin Moline, represents in art the spirita of my Free Friends Voluntaryist Community I wish to find or create somewhere in the world today. Let's gather together to befriend and defend personally Responsible Freedom! Sample me to see if there are personal values-worths we can trade for mutual benefit.

THE HUMAN POTENTIAL—RESPONSIBLE FREEDOM
"What humans must be, they can be. This drive I call Self-Actualization." Every Man Jack
The highest human potential to be actualized in each individual is what I call RESPONSIBLE FREEDOM.
“We are only as Free as we take the Responsibility to Be. Free Will is the Will to be Free.” Every Man Jack
My definition of the POTENTIAL that HUMAN BEINGS are born with and can ACTUALIZE if provided the right time and conditions (circumstance and environment) is contained in two words:
RESPONSIBLE FREEDOM.
By Responsible Freedom I mean:
First, achieving FREEDOM FROM the genetic/parental/cultural, evolutionary shaped Family/Clan Dominance Control Structure as expressed throughout Human History and to date as OBEDIENCE TO AUTHORITY (Parents/Clans, Societies/Cultures/Religions, Gurus, Gods, National Governments/World Government--Ruling Authority Legitimation by Fiat).
Then, second, taking RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FREEDOM OF CONTROLLING ONESELF AS THE ULTIMATE RULING AUTHORITY, and allowing no one else to do so.
Once you have achieved Responsible Freedom as your own Independent Self then you will probably be motivated to create the Interdependent Eutopia (Eu “Good” + topia “Place”--opposite of Collectivist "Utopia"--U "No" Place) that provides the conditions that condition those within it to be able to actualize this Human Potential.
This "Union of Egoists" (Max Stirner) is what I want to establish with my Free Friends Voluntaryist Community in Auckland, New Zealand or elsewhere on the planet.

Government As God (Video) by TPOCS, Sept 2, 2012 21:06
Perhaps the book that best explains my philosophy of Personally Responsible Freedom is "The Market for Liberty" by Morris and Linda Tannehill. Free pdf and audiobook download
https://freekeene.com/about/books/
These quotes from their book succinctly and accurately articulate my core values:
"Rights are not a gift of God or of society; they are the product of the nature of man and of reality. If man is to live a productive and happy life and realize his full potential as a human being, he must be free from coercion by other men.
“Morally, each man owns himself, and he has the right to do anything which does not violate another man's right of self-ownership. The only way a right can be violated is by coercion. This is why society in harmony with the requirements of man's nature must be based on the rule of non-initiation of force--it must be a laissez-faire society. Laissez faire means 'Let people do as they please,' meaning, let everyone leave others alone to do as they choose. A laissez-faire society is a society of non-interference--a mind-your-own-business, live-and-Iet-live society. It means freedom for each individual to manage his own affairs in any way he pleases . . . not just in the realm of economics but in every area of his life.”
This is about RESPONSIBLE FREEDOM, THE POTENTIAL OF OWNING-CONTROLLING YOURSELF, of being your OWN AUTHORITY (GOD & GOVERNMENT)--of allowing no-one to CONTROL YOU & YOU CONTROLLING NO ONE BUT YOURSELF.
NO GODS, NO GOVERNMENTS…

NATURE TO BE COMMANDED MUST BE OBEYED
https://www.resourceforyoursource.com/5-nature-to-be-commanded
All of us are born into Slavery--the Selfish Genes Slavery that has evolved the Human Family-Clan as the all-powerful Paternal Father (Pa) and all forgiving Maternal Mother (Ma) that hierarchically bestow value-power on its Children-Victim Underlings.
Out of this MAtrix and PAttern of the Human Family-Clan, the Individual Minds within it have created and projected the mystifications of the
“SACRED” (note “SCARED” AS “SACRED”) RULERS (Gurus, Gods, Governments) to keep their Power Over their Victim-Children intact and increasing.
As Gene-Meme Machines we are Hardwired and Programmed to act as directed by our DNA Dictator--the Source of the Sacred and the Pattern-Giver of the Universal Human Act of Sacrifice. What most Persons do unwittingly from birth to death is Sacrifice their Minds to and for the various Representatives of the DNA Dictator first and foremost as the FAMILY--then as the Clan, Tribe, Culture, God, Civilization, Nation, Ideology, World Government...up the Pyramidal Hierarchy of Political and Priestly Power.
It is this Driver, Director, Dictator that is the answer to the enigma that Anarcho-Libertarians are so unable to respond to and are so confused about: why 99%(?) of the population refuses the obvious truth that any Ruler-God-Government is an Unnecessary Evil, is that it is the Co-Dependent FAMILY that is the MATRIX out of which the Human Species has evolved. I mean the All-Powerful Father, the All-Forgiving Mother, and the Helpless Infant. It is the obvious of which we are most oblivious.
UNDERSTAND the HUMAN FAMILY-CLAN RULING SYSTEM and grow up and out of its MATRIX. Become your OWN PARENTS, YOUR OWN RULER. THAT is the HUMAN POTENTIAL.
The FEAR OF DEATH-ABANDONMENT-IDENTITY LOSS is the Negative Conditioner Of The Human Condition.
The SOURCE OF VOLUNTARY ENSLAVEMENT is the Need For Emotional Security.
THE RESPONSIBLY FREE LIFE = ACCEPTANCE OF DEATH
As internal combustion engines run on oil, Life runs on Death. Life processes Death to do its deed. This simple, indisputable fact sticks in Man-un-Kind’s craw and can neither be spit out nor swallowed.
This is Humanity’s Koan that can’t be solved or resolved but only dissolved by being understood and lived. This deeply denied Knowledge is the Scared Resource we all use to Enslave ourselves. It is the Secret Source of the Sacred, the HoLYwood [sicK] Projector of the Mind that creates the epic Dramas of Gods, Governments, and Gurus.

12:17> “To be truly free it's both very easy and very hard. We avoid the horror of our enslavement because it is so painful to see it directly; we dance around the endless violence of our dying system because we fear the attacks of our fellow livestock; but we can only be kept in the cages we refuse to see. Wake up. To see the farm is to leave it.”

WORLD’S SMALLEST POLITICAL QUIZ
"A fast, fun and accurate assessment of a person’s overall political views. The Quiz is composed of two parts: a new political map that is far more accurate than the old “Left versus Right” line, and ten questions on specific political issues to help a Quiz taker find his place on that new political map. The Quiz challenges the dominant “Left versus Right” political model. The Left versus Right model tries to categorize virtually all political opinion into either left and right. The Quiz model is far more inclusive and accurate. It is based on the idea that virtually all political issues can be divided into two broad categories: Economic and Personal."

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIBERTY (HD with voiceover) (Video) Man Against The State, Feb 21, 2012. 8:05
This classic video was made by Kerry Pearson (aka Lux Lucre), based on the epilogue of The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible, a book by Ken Schoolland.
The Philosophy of Liberty written by Ken Schoolland
This philosophy is based on the principle of self-ownership. You own your life. To deny this is to imply that another person has a higher claim on your life than you have. No other person, or group of persons, owns your life nor do you own the lives of others.
You exist in time: future, present, and past. This is manifest in life, liberty, and the product of your life and liberty. The exercise of choices over life and liberty is your prosperity. To lose your life is to lose your future. To lose your liberty is to lose your present. And to lose the product of your life and liberty is to lose that portion of your past that produced it.
A product of your life and liberty is your property. Property is the fruit of your labor, the product of your time, energy, and talents. Property is that part of nature which you turn to valuable use. Property is the property of others that is given to you by voluntary exchange and mutual consent. Two people who exchange property voluntarily are both better off or they wouldn’t do it. Only they may rightfully make that decision for themselves.
At times some people use force or fraud to take from others without willful, voluntary consent. The initiation of force or fraud to take life is murder, to take liberty is slavery, and to take property is theft. It is the same whether these actions are done by one person acting alone, by the many acting against the few, or even by officials with fine hats.
You have the right to protect your own life, liberty, and justly acquired property from the forceful aggression of others. And you may ask others to help defend you. But you do not have a right to initiate force against the life, liberty, or property of others. Thus, you have no right to designate some person to initiate force against others on your behalf.
You have a right to seek leaders for yourself, but you have no right to impose rulers on others. No matter how officials are selected, they are only human beings and they have no rights or claims that are higher than those of any other human beings. Regardless of the imaginative labels for their behavior or the numbers of people encouraging them, officials have no right to murder, to enslave, or to steal. You cannot give them any rights that you do not have yourself.
Since you own your life, you are responsible for your life. You do not rent your life from others who demand your obedience. Nor are you a slave to others who demand your sacrifice.
You choose your own goals based on your own values. Success and failure are both the necessary incentives to learn and to grow.
Your action on behalf of others, or their action on behalf of you, is only virtuous when it is derived from voluntary, mutual consent. For virtue can only exist when there is free choice.
This is the basis of a truly free society. It is not only the most practical and humanitarian foundation for human action; it is also the most ethical.
Problems in the world that arise from the initiation of force by government have a solution. The solution is for people of the world to STOP asking officials to initiate force on their behalf. Evil does not arise only from evil people, but also from good people who tolerate the initiation of force as a means to their own ends. In this manner, good people have empowered evil throughout history.
Having confidence in a free society is to focus on the process of discovery in the marketplace of values rather than to focus on some imposed vision or goal. Using governmental force to impose a vision on others is intellectual sloth and typically results in unintended, perverse consequences. Achieving the free society requires courage to think, to talk, and to act — especially when it is easier to do nothing.
