The situation you refer to is an invasion
No, it isn't. You don't own anything, remember? You tore down capitalism. So it's just me exercising my freedom.
as vic reeves sang, 'Born free' we have to be
I hate to break it to you, but Vic is not a great political thinker.
if authority, laws, general terms of understanding between people are concepts generated by thought then the starting block is an absence of these and infinite, absolute freedom
No, the absence of these concepts is not some Platonic blank page on which authority writes injustice. That's an idealised load of hogwash. The absence of these concepts is a mammalian dominance dynamic which has little or nothing to recommend it as 'freedom'.
The 'total freedom' you posit is no more desirable, however - it is amoral, disconnected, almost pre-mentation, and fills the same position regarding oppression that pure chance fills in respect of determinism: in removing all obstacles to action, you make the concept of freedom meaningless.
-this is built upon by standards of respect for people that becomes a society.
For 'standards of respect' read 'unwritten rules'. It's a cop out.
Exile and prison are opposites, prison you keep someone in-exile you keep someone out
Fatuous distinction. Both are about defining the space a given person is permitted to occupy and setting limits on whom they may interact with. Both are about denying access to a society and its goods as a punishment for infraction of the rules. In fact, a prison could almost be defined as a place of internal exile. Apart from that, the difference is about which side of the line you're standing on. Does the circle enclose this smaller piece of land or that larger one? Is this prison or exile which keeps me from my family? |
