The Voluntary Community

"(...) Capitalism does not just provide for the production and distribution of goods, but also for both the supportive and regulative institutions necessary for the system to flourish in, and the moral underpinnings of civil community. Capitalism, which places the consumer as supreme, regulates itself through incentives.(...)

Once humans begin interacting with one another, there is an immediate realization that there are certain common bonds amongst like-minded people. Amongst themselves, these people invariably will establish religion, clubs, civil communities, etc. Each in turn regulating the conduct of their members; thus, acting as further restraints on libertinism. (...)

It is important to note again that the smallest divisible sovereign entity is the individual human. The right to secession from the larger community is sacrosanct, both for the individual and for the entity to which it is a member. With this right also comes the responsibility to accept the consequences of secession such as the ostracism and outright boycott that entity might suffer from actions of the larger community. There should be no doubt on the influence suspension of both communal and trading bonds with a larger community can have on entities. These lawful noninvasive reactions by the larger community are acceptable; coercive activities backed by force are not acceptable.

The state in contrast to the voluntary community tends to politicize and polarize the community. Therefore, leading to the aggrandizement of centralized power in dispute settlement, the destruction of subsidiarity in the regulation of community activities and its substitution with state coercion through the threat of force. (...)

Every removal of subsidiarity from the regulation of the community, by the ever-expanding state, displaces the human being from that which grounded them in wholesome relationships.

This loss of wholesome relationships has unleashed the atomistic-individualism of libertinism.
Thus, the state is responsible for the degeneracy of today’s community.

The state has neutered the role that the voluntary community plays in the natural authority that regulates human action, and replaced it with the unnatural authority of the omnipotent state, its political shenanigans and relativistic moral center based upon pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed and sloth.

The irony of the entire experience is that in working towards the virtuous community through the mechanism of the state, the conservatives have in actuality, ensured the supremacy of libertinism." The Voluntary Community
