Putting Together "Liberty Class" Please help with rough course outline

I wrote this the other day for another post and it might serve as a good introduction. I believe that most people don't understand that there is NO American Culture other than the philosophy of freedom..... Have at it.

"If you have ever lived in a foreign country you begin to understand the word "Culture". Almost all of the other countries of the world are held together by thousands of years of a CULTURE. It is not something you learn it is part of your core, and it makes up a large part of how one understands the world. It is the "glue" that holds a people together. A culture includes not simply the music, dress, customs, foods, religion and ethnicity of an area. It defines the way the people see themselves and their place in the universe. It develops over centuries and is part of the CORE of the people who live in that country. As an "outsider" you can live in a country for decades, and learn their ways and respect their traditions, but you can NEVER BE who they are (Japanese, Chinese, Mexican) because you are not from their Culture, and you THINK and see the world differently. The "glue" that holds their souls together does not stick to you.

This issue of "Culture" is something that most Americans do not understand, and thus, you have US Presidents who think that they can impose "democracy" on other countries, with no understanding of the people they are dealing with.

"America" was a country that was a huge experiment. It was NOT based on a thousand year Culture. It combined people of hundreds of different Cultures onto a single continent. And the "glue" that bound these peoples together was a PHILOSOPHY. They had no common music, dress, dances, foods, religions, but rather hundreds of different backgrounds from hundreds of different Cultures. But the GLUE - the cohesiveness that made this "America" was a common belief in the PHILOSOPHY of FREEDOM that had never been tried in the history of mankind.

The PHILOSOPHY of "America" was the ONLY "Culture" that bound the people together. They could overlook their differences in tradition, as long as they all clung to this philosophy as the cohesive force.

What has gone wrong in "America" is that slowly but surely the philosophy has disappeared. Therefore, what we are left with is simply a large LAND MASS, filled with people with various and different ideas, with NOTHING HOLDING THEM TOGETHER. This is why things have gone downhill. And THIS is why restoring the message of freedom is so important. WITHOUT THIS PHILOSOPHY HOLDING THE PEOPLE TOGETHER THERE IS NO GLUE.... THERE IS NO "AMERICAN CULTURE" ....THERE IS NO COHESION. The message of freedom is the ONLY thing that will make this land mass AMERICA again. - by definition.

The "bad guys" knew this. They have done their best to destroy the PHILOSOPHY of freedom, and thus, have aggressively enhanced our DIFFERENCES so that we are constantly seeing each other in groups of "friend or foe". They have divided us so easily because without the philosophy of freedom we never DID have anything in common.

When people say "God Bless America" it is the Philosophy that America followed that they are referring to. But when the Philosophy disappears the phrase loses all meaning. It MUST start to mean more than a land mass again. That is what we are fighting to restore. We are the ONLY HOPE that there will BE an "America" again. We are the ones who must restore the "American Culture" with the philosophy of Freedom... the ONLY common ground the people of America ever had. Without it we are only a geographic location full of lost people who, having no culture of their own any more, randomly divide into groups and try to gain an identity that is not their CORE.

"Not armies, not nations, have advanced the race; but here and there, in the course of ages, an individual has stood up and cast his shadow over the world."

This flash animation covers the basics.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free. -Goethe

Ultimate Liberty — Anarchy

Anarchists favor voluntary self-organization. Anarchists do not oppose
all rules and laws; anarchists only oppose rules and laws imposed involuntarily by illegitimate authorities such as the state, and favor voluntarily-agreed upon rules and laws. The current National Debt clearly demonstrates that politicians do not act in our best interest.

The most virtuous transactions among people arise from voluntary interactions. (Which is how society functions most of the time anyway.)

Fantastic collection of articles on Voluntaryist philosophy can be found in the book:
'I Must Speak Out' edited by Carl Watner

Good website for free books and videos of anarchist philosophy in action.

'Evil means' never achieve 'good ends'. Voluntaryists reject electoral politics as well as revolutionary violence. Politicians, through force, may kill or incarcerate any number of liberty loving individuals, but they can never compel us to do anything against our will. True freedom is a state of mind, a knowledge that our inner spirits are ever free. True reforms must begin within ourselves.

A great book written in the 70s about why governments and their monopoly on force are not needed in our lives.

it's at book.freekeene.com as an audio book, not sure about print version.

Also, 'What Has Government Done to Our Money?' by Murray Rothbard, available at Mises.org.

Begging hands and bleeding hearts
Will only cry out for more...'
