Confederation Society is a proposed group, or network of groups, dedicated to reforming fundamental values and institutions around the world toward a stable libertarian worldview.
Members would recognize that liberty, though wildly popular, is at a disadvantage in a world covered with primitive regimes and nation-states.
Members strategize about what types of institutions would be more advantageous to liberty and how to realize reform in their regions.
For example, a proposed Basic Law for a hypothetical Free State, or Liberacy, includes many innovate institutions, such as:
* The use of sortition for main government bodies
* A council that can only repeal directives and unseat ministers
* The reframing of laws as ‘directives,’ reflecting their purpose as intra-governmental organizational tools, rather than ethically binding edicts
* An unchangeable Basic Law, that expresses fundamental rights and liberties, which can be interpreted by courts
* An extra-governmental Supreme Court of Law, convened by citizens, which can try and convict government officers
* Anti-voting for the ‘Head of State’: a process by which everyone can vote against one other person, and the office is chosen at random from those receiving no anti-votes, or from those who tied for least anti-votes
* Absence of a central executive figure. The executive is divided into ministries and subordinate to the other bodies of governance
* Four clear ways of modifying the status of a state: secession (withdrawal from a state), accession (inclusion into a state), confederation (mutual defense league among otherwise independent states), and union (merger of two states)
My hope is that this Society develops as these ideas become more popular in the postmodernist age. Libertarians need not a party, but a network. I hope to break ground on reforming zoning laws, property laws relating to the ocean and space, social services, public housing, and all the other state-controlled plagues of our age. If this sounds interesting to you, send me an email. Or just keep reading The Confederal Sun.
