In early December of last year, I set out on a path to create a brand new political blog, motivated by many conversations - arguments - I was having with several of my peers. It's probably not something that was totally needed, as most of the information I was going to post is easily found elsewhere on the internet, but I proceeded anyway, as an exercise of organizing my own thoughts if nothing else. Besides, the information being presented was perhaps not found anywhere in such a format, and definitely not found coming from a Newfoundland and Labrador perspective... or maybe not anyway.Everything that I'm posting on this new 'Liberty Manifesto NL' site is influenced by my preferred brand of libertarianism: Eco-libertarian with anarcho-syndicalist tendencies. I'll expand on that in future posts I'm sure, but for this one, I'm really only focusing on the blog itself, not so much expanding on what it is I believe politically and socially. That, in fact, is what the blog is for.
For a couple of weeks, I worked my little fingers, typing my thoughts into several beginning posts. Most of them are created to serve a purpose of providing a little background, before getting into the concrete broad visions that I have for a potential future of a better world, or country, or province, or community even. I hadn't intended on beginning with the background posts, but after diving into things, I figured it would be best. Without some sort of minor backdrop into my way of thinking and my influences, I would think that the task of understanding my vision would be that much more difficult. So, I started with:
- Introduction and Declaration
- Succeed or Secede
- Obstacles to Overcome
- Divide and Conquer
- On Libertarian Socialism
- Comprehending the Corporatocracy
- Reforms or Revolution
- On Discussing Reform
Anyway, I have these broad topics completed:
- Electoral Reform
- Parliamentary Reform
Eco-libertarian with anarcho-syndicalist tendencies. #DigginIt
