I call myself a “Conflict-Informed Socialist Libertarian“. T
I believe in tuning our sensitivity to the universal conflict and suffering within us that we all share.
This to me includes helping each other meet basic needs including food, shelter, clothing, work, and transportation. This also includes guaranteeing vast freedom to choice for all humans, including choices in relationships, healthcare, travel, and our offerings to society, with full respect for each other’s lifestyle and choices.
Conflict Informed
- The ability to feel contrasting views allows Higher Truth to naturally emerge
- Support research and reflection into Higher Truth.
- Provide safe spaces for meditation, contemplation, self-reflection, prayer, and deeper dialog for everyone.
- Unconditional Respect for all. (Golden Rule)
- This is especially towards the marginalized and our enemies.
- Recognize violence and trauma stem from oppression — the marginalization of a human perspective.
- Dismantle oppression through non-violent means.
Socialist
- We work to guarantee each human being on this planet has access to basic:
- clean air, water, hygiene and sanitation
- clothing
- healthy food
- healthcare
- nature and parks
- private room/shelter
- safe living environment
- technology / AI
- transportation
- work in line with one’s proclivity
- Having our basic needs met are the building blocks on which any subsequent “freedom” makes sense.
- Ensuring everyone has their basic needs met will reduce violence, increase prosperity, and increase abundance.
Libertarian
- We should safeguard broad and vast freedoms for:
- beliefs
- body and mind treatments
- education
- goods and services we offer
- identification – race, gender, anything
- medical / medicinal choices
- perspectives
- political views
- relationship paradigms
- sexual exploration
- speech and expression
- spiritual / religious paradigm
- travel
- work choices
- We should bypass force or coercion to compel others to adopt our beliefs, values, or lifestyle.
- If we disagree, we exchange our perspective through a mature exchange of insight.
