Welcome To Liberland: The Tiny Strip Of Land In Europe Where 360,000 People Have Applied For Citizenship

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,

If we accepted everyone, we would be larger than Iceland.

 

– Liberland founder, Vit Jedlicka

If there was ever a sign that people are hungry, starving actually, for freedom and an escape from the corrupt and overbearing global status quo, this is it.

Welcome to the Free Republic of Liberland, seven square kilometers of unclaimed land between Croatia and Serbia, which intends to becomes the world’s newest, and most free, sovereign state.

To prove Ron Paul’s contention that “freedom is popular,” Liberland has already received 360,000 applications for citizenship, including 600 architects.

This is truly instructive. Absolutely fascinating.

But will they do the politically correct thing, and allow a 'diverse' citizenry?

Are they free to audit their central bank?

Are they free to read the entire, unredacted, government report on the largest "terrorist" event in the nation's history?

Are they free to communicate with one another in secret?

Are they free to decide if they want to purchase private health insurance?

Are they free to drink a beer when on leave from military service as a 19 year old?

Are they free to not pay for other people's abortions?

Look, they could accept the "Syrian", Somali, Afghan "Palestinian", Iraqi, Chadian and Nigerian "refugees" and have an instant population of over 200 million AND become the first all Muslim European nation. How would that upset the apple cart?

"Croatia has been arresting eager Liberland settlers."

Sounds like the Republic of Minerva, which was doing just fine until squashed by the Tongan military (i.e. a dozen armed guys in a patrol boat).

Liberland shall endure... until the Croats get around to adjusting their claimed borders, after which Liberland will just be another Wikipedia entry. 

I do sympathize, though. Liberty is good.

I heard Tarzan has applied for citizenship. If accepted I believe Liberland will stretch from Hungry on the north, far into Croatia, Bosnia, and well into Serbia in the west.

Without a fascist government that steals wealth from the productive and gives it to the unproductive, all the while creating unreasonable and arbitrary barriers for people to choose / create their own work, it won't matter how diverse they are.

Without a huge social welfare program, the unproductive have no incentive to move there.

Which bit of freedom do you struggle with? True freedom emancipates us from the issue of race, religion etc because we are FREE to settle in the the communities we want. Don't want someone on your land? Grab a fucking .50 calibre rifle. If someone can contribute to the success of your community do you really care what colour they are or what religion they follow?

The recent post regarding how dumb americans have become applies here too. Why worry about discussing an actual attempt at a solution to the septic tank of problems the world faces when you can point your finger and yell at someone different than you.

Blame all the problems we face on some other group.

Bow down to your latest Savior politician who promises to fix problem caused by 'other group'.

Ignore the psychological conditioning we are being controlled with and disregard the facts that your saviour will use even more fascist and evil means to solve the problem that the previous government(s) created.

Same fucking story each political cycle here. Catch up people, the ones stealing 1/3rd of your paycheck are the problem, no one else.

There is no solution, in this world you either fight or give one third of your salary to a fighter, to fight for you.

Freedom in large groups is impossible because it is paradoxical. Freedom implies a diversity of wills, desires, intentions and actions. But if your free actions are not alligned with the actions of the others in the group, they interfere, so only homogeneous groups where everyone thinks alike can be free. But if everyone thinks and acts alike, are they free or do they simply follow common orders?

Freedom is an absurd methaphysical concept akin to Nirvana and ridiculous as a political platform.

I'm not saying that they wouldn't have to provide for their own defense.

Switzerland has it figured out better than any other country. Mind your own business while maintaining a strong defense.

There's no such thing as total freedom in this world.

Mr. de Lamartine once wrote to me thusly: "Your doctrine is only the half of my program. You have stopped at liberty; I go on to fraternity." I answered him: "The second half of your program will destroy the first."

In fact, it is impossible for me to separate the word fraternity from the word voluntary. I cannot possibly understand how fraternity can be legally enforced without liberty being legally destroyed, and thus justice being legally trampled underfoot

Legal plunder has two roots: One of them, as I have said before, is in human greed; the other is in false philanthropy.

Just like happened to Somalia after that LA Times article in the 90s sealed their fate.  As an anarchist country, it had higher economic growth, more reliable electricity, more plentiful water and better quality of life than surrounding countries, and the article marveled at how all this took place without a government.  Within a year, well-supplied warlords fucked that up.  I wonder who funded and supplied them.
