Our ideas IN 12 SHORT articles
Cooperative-based economy
In a democratic libertarian society all businesses consisting of more than two people should be transformed by law into cooperatives with highly democratic status. A cooperative-based economy is an alternative to classical capitalism that can truly contribute to a more sustainable world.
Guarantee of individual self-determination
A libertarian society should regulate and restrict the actions of its members only in order to maximize the individual freedom of all forms of life present in the territory influenced by the society itself. Everyone, thus, should be able to be and decide how to be without discrimination. This means, for example, that a State should never limit the freedom of relationship between consenting adults, the freedom of thought, freedom to euthanasia, freedom to abortion within a reasonable gestational time, and so on.
Primary home ownership for all
In order to ensure that all members of society can be owners of a primary home and, at the same time, that environmental sustainability is reached, democratic libertarians propose:
-
A ban on the practice of long-term renting of primary housing and the replacement of it with compulsory redemption rents.
-
A maximum individual ownership of only one primary house and a requirement that any additional houses be put up for sale through rent-to-own.
Ban on animal killing for meat production
In 2023 we can already grow better quality and more environmentally friendly meat in the laboratory. Killing animals for meat production disregards their freedom, is not ecologically sustainable, and creates unnecessary curtailment of everyone's freedom (by everyone we mean "nonhuman animals included"). After a transition period all animal killing for meat production should be banned.
Cooperatives for the management of commercial properties and limited resources
In a democratic libertarian society all resources of public interest should be managed by cooperatives with highly democratic status. A cooperative-based economy is an alternative to classical capitalism that can truly contribute to a more sustainable world.
Guarantee of political self-determination
Every collectivity in a territory, whether a village or a region, should be able to freely establish itself as a sovereign state and break away from the original nation state. Unity lies in cooperation among diversity, not in forced inclusion.
