Willem IV- Our hope and our agenda is to transcend the exploitation and freedom-taking ways of the ruling class and those entities which control our sociocultural, economic, and political environment today, much to our loss and their selfish gain.
The answer is unexpected! The answer is to use the power of organic cohesiveness to intentionally create clustered housing and/or to use the principles of a clustered living lifestyle. We propose a lifestyle rooted in a shared mutual-benefit material culture and Judeo-Christian values in freewill participation with others.
Here are some of the main entities we believe are causing most of the exploitation, if you are coming from the freedomist center-left perspective, and who are greatest threat to freedom, if you are coming from the freedomist center-right perspective: PayPal, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, John Deere, Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, Tyson, Visa, Master Card, Wal Mart, The GOP, the DNC, Walt Disney, Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, Fedex, UPS, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, IBM, Apple, Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Netflix.
We estimate that these 30 entities control more than 50% of most people’s daily social and economic life as well as almost 70% of their political or civic lives. If all of them deplatform you, then every other entity would follow, effectively condemning you to an internal banishment the likes of which has never been possible in human history. If we grow our list to the most powerful 100 entities we find that the average person is virtually a prey to whatever pressures they bring to bear.
Transcending them means we gain sociocultural and economic independence and our own civic/political clout through an approach that includes both individual and local scale unilateral action and massive scale collaboration and cooperation. We envision a reality FOR OURSELVES wherein our lives, including our sociocultural and economic environment, will reflect our beliefs, values, and convictions alone and not be subjected to the influence or control of these entities.
It is our sacred right of self-determination in freewill participation with others to pursue such a course of deliberate self-preservation from forces and entities that are violating our human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing. We owe no explanations and do not need to ask permission. Our approach is not for everyone but if we choose to define marriage, family, and community according to ancient traditions and values, we take nobody else’s right to do otherwise away from them!
(In other words, if you don’t like our concept of marriage, family, extended family, and communities of trust, then don’t become part of one of our clustered living communities. Nobody is forcing you to be part of such an extended familial community!)
Our true aim is transcendence of their structures and systems of control over our lives and circumstances and the development of our own relationships, associations, communities, structures, and institutions which reflect, as opposed to attacking, our values and lifestyle.
Before we can begin transcending their systems we must understand their nature and extent and just how dramatic and extensive our response will need to be. We must realize that our very lifestyle of libertine atomization coupled with collective dependency must fundamentally and unilaterally change in a very big way.
Our society has been collectivized by a monopoly of wealth and power ruled by a class of people whose vision for the future is positively hostile to any Judeo-Christian understanding of a good and just society and to human roghts, human dignity, and human flourishing in general for everyone.
To reiterate and make it clear: it is our position that unless and until you make a dramatic change in lifestyle from libertine atomization within a collective dependency, regardless of what you think your ideology or party leaning is, you will never, ever break free from these entities unless you personally become quite wealthy.
Moreover, we propose the basic tenets of historic Christian and Jewish moral and ethical orthodoxy are the path to a better future because they not only have worked before but are eminently suited to the needs of the 21st century. We desperately need a path of transcendence from the controlling entities which are threatened to destroy every semblance of human rights, human dignity, and human flourishing.
A good and just society, we believe, is most assured when most all children are raised by their biological or adopted mother and father within a living home and who are united in lifelong monogamous love. Our vision, unlike that of our opponents and that which ALL THESE ENTITIES PROMOTE, is to follow and build our own sociocultural and economic norms in a freewill participatory association instead of trying to coerce or bully people into this way of life.
The ideal home is connected in some form of freewill participatory and/or familial bond with a few dozen or so other homes. This home can meet its needs on a single salary or two part-time salaries or through a small business. This home is either singularly or within a smaller cluster of 5-10 other homes in a housing development, at least 70% self-sustaining for basic food needs and 100% for energy and shelter needs. This home has light impact on land and pays little or no property taxes dorec, thus ensuring its owners (husband and wife) can survive with little cash if need be.
To acheive this requires a high degree of organic cohesiveness, which means shared beliefs, values, and convictions which translate to a lifestyle and material culture that allows for maximum collaboration and mutual self-reliance without the need for top-down hierarchical systems of control. When the starting point is a Jewish and/or Christian worldview and sociocultural framework, you have the ability to connect on a mutual benefit basis with people of like affection. You also have access to ideals and principles which are both proven since ancient days and useful for now and the future.
Indeed, when one considers the sociocultural application and practice of the Judeo-Christian belief system, it should be clear that a clustered living lifestyle is in fact essential to the Christian and ancient Hebrew faith.
Clustered living as if in an extended familial unit, small tribal clan, or self-sustaining village is the only practical and material way to remove at least 70% or more of your material life from any dependency on these types of controlling entities. Again, let’s be clear: only by becoming physical self-sufficient can you transcend these controlling entities and only through clustered living can less than super rich people gather the resources to fulfill that aim.
You cannot do this on your own. You cannot boycott these entities into changing. At present, if they banish you internally, there is little real hope you as an individual without a decent support system will be able to thrive and prosper. On the other hand, if and when we see clustered living based on some form of organic cohesiveness emerge, then people are less likely to even gain the notice of these entities let alone have to endure being banished internally by them.
Clustered living through a modern adaptation of the ancient multi-family extended household community, rooted in Judeo-Christian sociocultural values, and practiced as a small village of closely related families or a tribal group, is the only viable way a small group of people can liberate themselves from this top-down control.
In cases where people gather and meet in clusters with local and like-minded people who cannot physically create a clustered housing development, a high degree of mutual support and mutual self-reliance as well as mutual assurance can still be obtained. Eventually, that cluster of people realizes many of the benefits of clustered living even though their residences aren’t clustered in one development.
The simple and unavoidable truth is that UNLESS you are willing to cluster together for mutual support and profit with like-minded people until most all of your basic necessities can be met with you and those you are closest to, then you cannot expect liberation from these controlling entities.
Of course, if you are independently wealthy you could be more free and/or you could even directly fund such a clustered housing development after you found like-minded people. Most people aren’t and, while we also promote the idea of individuals becoming financially prosperous as a means of liberation, the likelihood of most people in any short term doing so is fairly low.
Basically, for most people, clustering together in some capacity for mutual support with people you have a strong organic cohesiveness with (in our case, with a strong Judeo-Christian moral and social foundation) is the shortest and overall best approach to liberation. Just whining and trying to boycott entities you really cannot live without on your own are not mature responses.
We can explore exactly how to approach this, but what it important is a close degree of mutual self-reliance and mutual profitability in connection with people you have a strong organic cohesiveness on spiritual and sociocultural as well as as economic grounds.
Aside from this kind of approach, all efforts to extricate yourself from these entities that do not involve a massive structural reform of society from bottom to top are doomed. While massive structural reform of society may not be impossible in the long-term and may be a goal, it is highly inprobable in any event. It is, however, virtually impossible if the would-be reformers are not themselves materially independent of these controlling entities.
We can transcend these entities but because they control so much, this requires an approach like the clustered living approach with like-minded people for mutual profit and support. This is in fact a major lifestyle change that will initially be hard, inconvenient, and not without its risks. But, for all that, it is the most viable response to the present crisis for most people.
