NETWORK 350, THE BRAND-NEW CLASSICAL LIBERAL NETWORK
|
|
|
|
Classical liberalism is individual freedom and the minimalization -- as far as
|
|
it will go -- of the size and scope of authoritarianism such as government in
|
|
our business and private lives. Classical liberalism cannot die, fade away,or
|
|
be "engineered" out of existence ... it's an intrinsic part of being human.
|
|
|
|
ClaslibNet is for those who support or are curious about individual liberty,it's
|
|
natural roots and rich history, and it's inexorable regrowth after the global
|
|
failures of socialism's centrally-controlled economic activity and collectivism.
|
|
It's about freedom of speech, the global weakening of government and political
|
|
tribalism (nationalism), the demise of our own intrusive and oppressive welfare
|
|
state, and the morality of individual liberty. It's very different from all the
|
|
Orwellian group-think, political correctness, victim mentality, affirmative
|
|
action, quotas, intellectual manipulation, nanny-statism, dependancy, and the
|
|
general politicization of life as portrayed in much of the major media.
|
|
|
|
On ClaslibNet there's actually encouragement to think for yourself and run your
|
|
life in your own way, interacting voluntarily with others. On this network you
|
|
will see classical liberalism, not the silly and derogatory stereotypes of
|
|
freedom and liberty fed to us by the major media. It's in the same tradition as
|
|
the works of John Locke, Adam Smith, Karl Popper, Frederic Bastiat, Friedrich
|
|
Hayek, Lysander Spooner, H.L. Mencken, Mark Twain, Lord Acton, Thomas Paine,
|
|
Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, Milton Friedman, David Friedman, Henry David
|
|
Thoreau, Isabel Patterson, Rose Wilder Lane, and thousands of others who were
|
|
not afraid to leave the herd and live-out their own individuality, and fight for
|
|
it if neccessary.
|
|
|
|
Each node has message areas and hundreds of text files on subjects such as the
|
|
history of liberty, self-sufficiency, minimal government, voluntarism, private
|
|
alternative services, spontaneously organized market-driven economic
|
|
activity,and other socio-economic aspects of open societies comprised of
|
|
individually-directing and self-organizing people.
|
|
|
|
It's about time governments got out of our faces and simply protected us as we
|
|
freely carry on our private interactions with one another, each according to our
|
|
own individual civilized values and needs. It's about time some common sense
|
|
information and humanism -- classical liberalism -- got back into the public
|
|
domain. ClaslibNet is for "WE the people", not "THE people".
|
|
|
|
If you're a sysop in FidoNet and are interested, then get a starter package
|
|
FREQing the magic filename "CLASSLIB" from any one of the nodes below. Or you
|
|
can just directly log on to any of the nodes and download CLASSLIB.ZIP . If you
|
|
run a standalone BBS, we'll help you set up the neccessary software to get
|
|
netted with us. If you're a sysop, but not interested in being a node of
|
|
ClaslibNet, let us know if you're interested in getting fed with one or more of
