Make no mistake, those seemingly well meaning thinkers who craft excellent commentaries, full of thoughtful analysis and sourced citations, about the rights of the people to be free from the control of their own self created governments, are not friends of progessives. They are merely using the progressive forums and other liberalized spaces to argue for their deeply held FAITH in the priority of private property over happiness. They will argue of course that even though the very word property is not mentioned as part of the rights of the people, the inherent liberties endowed to the people, in the constitution that that it is there anyway. We just don't see it. It is imperative for them to insure that everyone fundamentally understand that money and property are more important than human life, more important than freedom and vastly more important than happiness.
They will put the acquisition of property as a right at the top of the pyramid of rights and relegate happiness to an obscure location. Why? Because they construct a reality that requires material possessions as emblems of their values, particularly in relational status with others. Matter is quantifiable and thusly it is easier to ascertain a degree of power as a measure of the quantities one possesses. Happiness and spirit are qualities and cannot be protected or evaluated or determined by numbers, by quantities. The concreteness of numbers is essential to the well being of the libertarian. They feel that they have attained hierarchical imperatives as long as they have surrounded themselves with matter that has numerically quantifiable value. They cannot view the world in any other way. Thus, they cannot possible imagine that their collection, and increasingly necessary protection, of material wealth is fundamentally detrimental to the well being of the planet.
When we hold the pursuit of happiness coequal with life and liberty, we discover that the only possible path to the pursuit of happiness follows from insuring a healthy sustainable species diverse ecologically whole Earth. Libertarians and their corporate conservative brethren see matter as an expendible resource through which they can derive value and power. Destroying the planet is merely evidence for the vast collection of power one has, the dominion over not just the earth, but all the living things upon it, including people. Libertarians are the first to tell you that no entity has the right(get this) to interfer with their right to use their rightful property in anyway they see fit. They are wrong. Their use of their property and their processes of acquiring and keeping it result intentionally in the deprivation of others. They require poverty to exist as a manifestation of their consolidation of material assets. The US is one of the very few nations that privatizes garbage and charges fees to use public lands as a mechanism to deprive the poor from access to possible material resources necessary for survival. Property is the symbolic manifestation of their destruction of happiness as a right of all the people. They demand that happiness be a commodity to be purchased through acquisition of wealth, not as a right of the people to pursue.
The most dreaded enemy of libertarians are happy anarchists, because in every way anarchists represent all that the libertarians cannot use governments to protect themselves from. In order for libertarians to maintain their control over their accumulation of assets they need to compromise their freedom to exist through supporting governmental or private security apparatus and entities. Giving up what they hold to be rights, they complete their own circle of hypocrisy upon themselves. Anarchists do not care about the laws of governments, nor the material assets of the people. Matter is not of the people it is of the earth. Arguing for this or that economic indexed system to maintain control over property, libertarians must argue that anarchists need to be imprisoned for thinking how they think. Their thoughts are dangerous because they are threats to the very core beliefs that the libertarians hold so dear. Anarchists are threats to the stability of maintaining the control of the populations during periods of chaos for the libertarians because no matter how much one has acquired they cannot eat money, the symbols of held assets, or the assets themselves.
What drives this engine of madness is fear; the massive anxiety that somehow, someway the libertarian will lose their tenuous grasp on reality if they cannot claim that they have property in their possession. They cannot be happy without it, and thus they enforce their beliefs, much like the religious fascists of the world enforce their beliefs, on everyone else. It is the fear that they cannot conquer, and the anarchists love to do everything in their power to instill that fear.
