Great illustration of self-limitation with example of Rupert Murdoch's influence. Most Americans today seem to miss the fact that they are self-imposing slavery.
I don't think that many people, myself included, would have understood much of what you were going on 'bout, let alone have read the philosophers you mentioned, to be able to engage in dialogue, for the much anticipated liberation you speak of ... how is the average joe meant to have his say in the law making process of the prohibition of cannibus or cigarettes ? ... is that not only a coercion but also interference upon Joes' free will ?
So mr. Skinner would not like his government to protect him? Perhaps he would like to have a regime of laws to grant freedom rather than a benevolent regime that looks after his safety?
I think that he gets Hegel and hence Marx wrong since he ignores the Master/Slave dialectic in Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. He relies too much upon a Pinkardian view of Hegelianism as concerned merely with 'normative values'. Marxism, moreover, is not merely concerned in discovering one's true interests, but in the self-liberation of the working class (all in the context of the Master/Slave dialectic.)
None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. Goethe. Indeed you are at liberty to think u are free but that's your only consolation. If you pay taxes (euphemism for legal theivery) then your are not free. Q: would u pay taxes if u had a choice or say in the matter ?? I didn't think so too...lol👊 Where no choice exists, slavery persists.
Taxes, under threat of imprisonment, are a significant clue as to the practical meaning of the word Republic. Militarily enforced Exclusive Economic Zones, monopoly currency and Apartheid concentration camps are enforced by consent of voters registered to a sovereign. Tax is a levy on the administration of the transfer of property. The administrator is the absolute title owner and is empowered to transfer property title to a title holder. The administrator's meaning of republic is public again. Transfer of property in a republic is a contract between 3 legal persons. Title to property is first transfered to the 'public' before title is re-leased to the title holder. Now, today, title on people as chattel is still the absolute property of a so-called sovereign bank. If you doubt that the title to your body is the property of a banker try use your given name, as your title, instead of the common colonial title Mister, Miss, Mrs etc. the next time you get medical, insurance or bank services.
