Is the Non-Agression Principle Enough OR Culture

http://bionicmosquito.blogspot.com/2018/02/the-libertarian-movement.html

Bionic mosquito offers four awesome examples before giving his conclusions below .. and one needs to remember that Jesus didn't just say turn the other cheek BUT offered a new way to live with His love giving us all the freedom to do that as the Father guides us through life.

".. If these others are right (focus on the NAP, and liberty will follow), we get liberty; if they are wrong, we live in hell (read the above list again; is this a world you want to live in?  Have you known those to hold to leftist views, as the term is used today, ever to call for less government involvement?). 


So what happens if we try it my way?  If I am right (focus on the right culture, and liberty will follow), we get liberty; if I am wrong, well…we still get something pretty close to liberty (just check the relative liberty of those living within Western Civilization over the last 2,000 years relative to the liberty to be found anywhere else).


I like the low risk option myself; even if I lose, I pretty much win.  No need for mustard seeds!


Conclusion


The answer?  Decentralization.  You know the problem with this?  Recall how many libertarians hated the idea of Catalunya seceding from Spain.  In other words, libertarians don’t even share this as a goal.  After all, if liberty is for all then we must think universally – there is no such thing as secession from the universe, after all.


Look, if libertarians would do nothing more than focus on decentralization and anti-empire and anti-war, I am all in.  You want to hear something funny?  I find more in common on these points with The Saker – not a libertarian from what I have gathered – than I do with many libertarians..."

The culture, influenced by Jesus directly (or indirectly IF His followers can pass on religious distractions and live in a way that has our neighbors and co-workers asking us good questions as to WHY) .. with decentralization "could" help make this world a better place .. but their still would be struggles, this ain't Heaven!
