If you agree that freedom is the right to communicate, to live, to be, to go, to love, to do what you will without the impositions of others, then you might be one of us.
Well I could somewhat agree with that. Though what if you crossed into another's property? That isn't somewhere you can live or necessarily go.
If you agree that a person is entitled to the sweat of their brows, that being talented at management should not entitle others to act like overseers and overlords, that all workers should have the right to engage in decisions, democratically, then you might be one of us.
A worker's democracy...you lost me there.
If you agree that freedom for some is not the same as freedom for all, and that freedom for all is the only true freedom, then you might be one of us.
Ok equality in freedom, I like that.
If you agree that power is not right, that life trumps property, then you might be one of us.
And you lost me again. Life is property. You own your own body which enables you not to be aggressed against in the first place. If you didn't have self-ownership then how could you defend yourself against the whims of others? Power is not right, but all rights disseminate from property.
If you agree that state and corporation are merely two sides of the same oppressive power structure, if you realize how media distorts things to preserve it, how it pits the people against the people to remain in power, then you might be one of us.
Ok I can agree with that.
We call for workers to not only strike, but seize their workplaces collectively, and to organize them democratically. We call for students and teachers to act together, to teach democracy, not merely the teachers to the students, but the students to the teachers. To seize the classrooms and free minds together
Hahaha ok. I'm done. You guys were so close to being liberty-orientated but you lost it with that call to action. What happened to the freedom of all? Now it's the freedom of the majority. Now you want workers to steal capital in their workplace and claim it as their own? Such a petty principle, one that is based off thievery just like the elites who steal from the masses.
There is a reason that teachers are teachers and students are students. It's not some oppressive regime measure meant to smack the hands of children with metaphorical rulers. Let's face it, students are students because they don't know what they come to study to a degree of efficiency. It is as simple as that. That is why they are students. That is why they go to teachers. Does that mean they are complete imbeciles? No. They are capable of knowing a small amount but they are coarse. They come to learn from those with experience or knowledge (the teachers). People who try to act like the teacher is an idiot, they know more then the teacher or grandstand in the classrooms are just showing their immaturity.
Teach democracy. What bullocks. There is nothing more insidious then the notion that the will of a majority makes an individual free. You want freedom for all? Abolish all forms of voting. Abolish the state. Give up the notion that you are competent enough to govern the lives of strangers. Let the individual have the freedom in all capacities in order to discover themselves and flourish.
