Frederick Douglass, "A Plea for Free Speech" (1860)

“Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power.”

All Freed 1/20/25

Muqaddimah of Ibn Khaldun

Government: "an institution which prevents injustice other than such as it commits itself"

…“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”

~ Niccolò Machiavelli

Adam Smith, "The Wealth of Nations"

"The world neither ever saw, nor ever will see, a perfectly fair lottery;"

On Criminality

"A criminal is a person with predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation. Most government is by the rich for the rich. Government comprises a large part of the organized injustice in any society, ancient or modern. Civil government, insofar as it is instituted for the security of property, is in reality instituted for the defence of the rich against the poor, and for the defence of those who have property against those who have none." -Adam Smith

On Elections and Lotteries

"The world neither ever saw, nor ever will see, a perfectly fair lottery." -Adam Smith

On Lobbyists

"The interest of [businessmen] is always in some respects different from, and even opposite to, that of the public ... The proposal of any new law or regulation of commerce which comes from this order ... ought never to be adopted, till after having been long and carefully examined ... with the most suspicious attention. It comes from an order of men ... who have generally an interest to deceive and even oppress the public." - Adam Smith

On Corporate Globalists

"A merchant, it has been said very properly, is not necessarily the citizen of any particular country." - Adam Smith

Wilhelm von Humboldt

Man "is born to inquire and create, and when a man or a child chooses to inquire or create out of his own free choice then he becomes in his own terms an artist rather than a tool of production or a well trained parrot."

On Civil Servants

"It is the interest of every man to live as much at his ease as he can; and if his emoluments are to be precisely the same, whether he does or does not perform some very laborious duty, it is certainly his interest, at least as interest is vulgarly understood, either to neglect it altogether, or, if he is subject to some authority which will not suffer him to do this, to perform it in as careless and slovenly a manner as that authority will permit." - Adam Smith

The Tyrant's Heel is on Thy Shore...

"The crisis of beauty today consists precisely in the fact that beauty is reduced to its givenness, to its use or consumer value. Consumption destroys the other. The beauty of art is a form of resistance to it. — Byung-Chul Han, "Saving Beauty"

"Narration is a concluding form. It creates a closed order that founds meaning and identity. In late modernity, which is characterized by opening up and unbounding, forms of concluding and closing off are increasingly eroded. At the same time, with increasing permissiveness comes a growing need for narrative forms of closure. Populist, nationalist, and right-wing extremists or tribal narratives, including conspiracy theories, cater to this need. They are taken up because they offer meaning and identity. However, in the post-narrative era, with its' intensifying experience of contingency, these narratives do not have any strong binding force." - Byung-Chul Han
