01
Freedom is the default
Coercion requires proof. Law, bureaucracy, markets, borders, algorithms, and mobs must justify every limit they place on a person.
Principles
Compact rules for freedom without domination.
These cards are intentionally portable: they should survive changes to colours, slogans, member communities, and campaign-shaped language.
02
Delegate complexity, not sovereignty
Experts, delegates, and AI systems can reduce cognitive load, but final political authority remains with citizens and rights-bearing people.
03
Build abundance, sector by sector
Post-scarcity is a horizon, not a magic switch. Start with food, shelter, healthcare, education, energy, safety, connectivity, and tools.
04
Automate the work. Socialise the freedom.
Automation should reduce toil and dependence, not create robot aristocracy, landlord empires, or a permanent precariat.
05
Belong locally. Cooperate planetarily.
People need rooted community and meaningful participation, while climate, technology, peace, migration, and off-world settlement require federated cooperation.
06
Rights come from personhood
Human dignity is not issued by a passport, chain, employer, party, platform, local majority, or colony charter. Voice grows through participation.
07
Delegates propose. Citizens decide.
Liquid/delegated democracy should make complex decisions legible while preserving direct approval, repeal, and accountability.
08
Justice is safety, repair, and return
Serious harm may restrict liberty, but the aim is safety, restitution, treatment, reintegration, and dignity — not revenge.
09
Responsible disclosure, not forbidden knowledge
Dangerous operational details may need narrow, time-limited safety holds. Dissent, science, whistleblowing, and unpopular ideas do not.
10
Consent requires the right to leave
Communities deserve continuity, and people deserve exit. No hostage-taking by state, market, employer, platform, colony, or commune.
11
Technology should free people
AI, automation, cryptography, and public compute are instruments. They must advise, coordinate, audit, and liberate — never rule.
12
The commons protects freedom
Shared ownership should prevent domination without smothering personal agency, pluralism, creativity, or peaceful forks.
