Democracy: Two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner.
#IndividualRights
#Democracy has diverse expressions & intrinsic limits; to be real it must recognize that not only #individualrights are important, but also #Earthrights & #communityrights. Survival depends on recognizing the rights of all beings, human & nonhuman. bit.ly/4k1KUr6

"Neither rulers nor philosophers invented #IndividualRights. Nor did nature invent them. (...) I don't need to tell you individual rights still frighten many governments. They also frighten economic oligarchies. It's no wonder the very idea had to emerge outside of government - and even as a by-product of other practical purposes."
Systems of Survival, Jane Jacobs (1992)
I must say, so far one of the best #philosophy books I've read.
#California expansion of involuntary behavioral holds is now in effect. While it aims to help people in #crisis, it also raises serious #questions about #individualrights and the lack of proper funding for #mentalhealth #services. The Labor Party believes in compassion and adequate resources. Are there real solutions to a broken system? What do you think?

@jeffowski @ErisCaffee Imagine thinking we don’t have the human right to the slave labor of everyone involved in food production from farmers on up.
Like, what the heck did we build civilization for then? Why did we bother industrializing agriculture? So they could make enough food for everyone only to starve anyway because we took it from them?

Why not give or sell your work, wealth, or property to just anyone?
“Because it’s *mine.* Do you understand the word?”
—Hank Rearden in ‘#AtlasShrugged’ by #AynRand https://AynRand.org/novels/atlas-shrugged/
Your mind is your fundamental tool for survival as a human. Your individual right to life includes the right to use your mind for productive work and enjoy its results. That is the foundation of your #PropertyRights and of #capitalism.

#Privacy is a #HumanRight in the same way and to the same extent #FreeSpeech is a human #right. Neither obligates others to either keep your secrets or publicize your broadcasts.
