FREE FRIENDS CREATING A COMMUNITY OF CARE
Friend and Freedom share the same etymological root which means to not be in bondage and to love. Hence, I claim Responsible Freedom is Love. Or as Sting sang it, “if you love somebody, set them free”.
Old English freond "one attached to another by feelings of personal regard and preference," from Proto-Germanic *frijand- "lover, friend" (source also of Old Norse frændi, Old Danish frynt, Old Frisian friund, Dutch vriend, Middle High German friunt, German Freund, Gothic frijonds "friend"), from PIE *priy-ont-, "loving," present participle form of root *pri- "to love" (see free (adj.)).
This is why I often use the phrase "Free Friends" to mean those who share the values of Responsible Freedom aka Autarchy. It is my intention to form such a Free Friends Community of Care on ground somewhere in New Zealand where those who practice the 4 virtues of Responsible Freedom, which are:
- No initiated physical force
- Private property beginning with your person
- Free trade
- Contractual agreement
can live together in mutual protection and creation.
If interested in creating such a community based on ground in New Zealand, email me: themesofjack@gmail.com; and check out my Freedom Cell for NZ here:
