Civilization was build by salves not free men.If you want freedom, buy a tent and go live in the bushes. There you can truely be free. The basis of the democratic society are the same as in dictatorship, the only difference being that in tyrany you're being pushed by one man and in democracy by the whole crowd itself.
If someone could compare man throught it's history the golden age of freedom has long passed. The basis of freedom is land, the basis of society is propriety.Man has transformed anything into propriety, and now there isn't a patch of land that isn't someone's propriety. Propriety has created inequality and those who own less try to own more and sexual selection has given way to a propriety-based selection.Healthier free men are thrown away by wealthier myrmidons. By what force did that happen?
Isn't democracy all about the heard oppresing itself. Aren't we fooled to belive that supporting civilization you support freedom?Isn't the entire history of civilization just a problem of who owns what or who owns who?In the past people didn't have the liberty of speech, but who needed it? People could move across rivers and pastures without being shot at for illegal border crossing, fugitives could hide in the woods and survive there untill the danger had passed and people could dissapear alltoghether because there was noone monitoring them from outer-space. But than as society developed more and more things ware regulated and free-thinkers developed new ways of expressing their freedom and society integrated those concepts that ware also regulated in such a way that the last true bastions of freedom ware abolished.
You're living in a democratic state but is that a free state? No. You're free only to convince others to let you do what you want. In totalitarianism you had to convince one, now you have to convince all others as each one has a word to say. It would be all nice if communication was like this forum where you only share opinions and hear others share theirs, but now communication has turned into a game of dominance and power.
Slaves will never be free, because in society for one's freedom another one must bear the shackels of wage labour.
