The Mandate of Civilization

Everyone has the natural right (free of created/systematic restraint) to do anything that isn't harmful to another creature. It cannot be less than that for the idea of rights to have any meaning. They have the right to wander the Earth freely and settle anywhere anyone else may settle. Because it is not necessary for the good of anyone else to infringe those rights, no one can have the right to infringe them. No one can delegate a right they do not themselves possess and groups cannot have rights that extend beyond the rights of the individuals in them. Group rights is a legal fiction, and as Truth is a prerequisite for Justice, legal fictions are always incompatible with justice. Enclosure was a crime against humanity and copyright is the legal fiction version. We are each a unique embodied perspective on the universe, with all the unique experiences, knowledge, and priorities that entails. In order for society to be sustainable ( a prerequisite for all non-temporary goals ), as well as legitimate, it must value at least the basic natural rights of every individual. If it does not, that individual has a natural right to fight the system or the oppressor and either murder, slavery, or crime is guaranteed. People have the natural right to attempt to get their basic needs met regardless of what stands in the way. Reciprocity is a prerequisite for legitimacy and sustainability. That requires ensuring what is in everyone's best interests, and the least that can mean is enabling everyone the full exploration of their experience and the world around them to fully develop their character. Only the Best You can ever have the best life for You. The good of You is inseperable from the good of the world around you. You are the story you tell about how you fit into the world and society.
