We struggle to reach consensus over whether there any universal principles of justice. Locke separated human actions into the two realms of liberty and licence. Whenever human settled down in one location, the members of the community needed to agree upon rules under which the land and natural resources were to be allocated. While the original rules were designed to achieve equality of opportunity, what eventually emerged in all societies is hierarchy; and, with hierarchy, rules and norms the effect of which was the redistribution of wealth from producers to non-producing "rentier" interests. In a very real sense, the creation of private enclaves, of cooperatives (particularly limited equity cooperatives) and community land trusts, have come into existence to counter the negative consequences of the landlordism that has plagued societies from the ancient introduction of hierarchy and the related monopoly privilege under law.
Our current world is a dystopian one run be billionaires. Why are you afraid of one where people can choose which governments they live under rather than having to just deal with whatever a giant faraway centralized national government shoves our faces in?
There will be no choice. This idea removes your rights, which you might have now. Private companies just want maximum gains. His hypothetical doctor wanting to be paid to help someone in distress tells you all you need to know.
@@johnturrell942 You have no idea what you're talking about. Imagine finding someone in cardiac arrest, having to spend thousands of dollars to save their life without knowing who they are or how they got that way. And at the end of it, he's like "nope, I never agreed to pay". The result of that is people dying in the street if they don't have insurance.
You don't understand what the model is. You are obviously in America where health care is the preserve of the wealthy. Do your research on freeports, SEZ and realise you will have zero rights.
What a great presentation! I read Tom's book, it is a great read.

All I can say is wow! Thank you Prof!
Preaching a dystopian world run by the few billionaires.

Nice one, very interesting! Freedom is the future.
How grossly & dangerously oversimplistic.
