Real freedom comes from being able to get up and go where you please and not be someone’s lackey. That freedom requires the help of other free people. Ask any person who is entirely self sufficient and doesn’t rely on anyone for anything. They’re not free. Their life is constant work because humans are more free when we help others. Many hands make light work. You can’t be carpenter, welder, blacksmith, cobbler, accountant, janitor, farmer, chimney sweep, pest controller, baker, butcher, hunter, gatherer, and still have time to eat and shit. We used to give food to strangers and travelers and take people in to hear their stories as payment. We used to, each of us, be both creditor and debtor. We made money out of nothing like the banks do today. We used to give out favors and receive favors as currency. We could drop everything and follow a dream and our neighbors would help look after our affairs while gone because then they could follow their dreams and be content too after we returned. Freedom comes from being truly human. We can only be truly human when we don’t calculate credits and debits. There’s a story about a couple of hunters. One gets a big haul of meat. The other gets nothing. The successful hunter gives the unsuccessful hunter a bunch of his meat. He says “I don’t want to hear anybody say thank you. What I get today you might get tomorrow and I’d hope you’d help me. By gifts one makes slaves and by whips one makes dogs.” He’s saying that by worrying about who gave what to who we become like slaves. When we try and force people to do what we want by force we make people into dogs. We give freely without a record of the gift because being human means not worrying about who gave what to who. You’re truly human when you give freely. You can look at this another way. Ayn Rand would say “getting the most good for yourself is the best thing you can do”. By being generous without accounting you do get more in the long run. Sure anybody can work the system and rob entire communities of their wealth and resources. But that’s very short sided. Much better to have an entire community healthy and full of resources they can give freely to each other so it is stronger. A stronger group of people means you’re stronger by being apart of them than you’ll ever be even if you stole everything that makes them strong. You’ll never be able to do the work of the whole community even with all its resources. So freedom only exists without money. Without artificial strife, in this world of plenty, is where we can be free. “Over and over I have set forth the qualities that we Wendat believe ought to define humanity – wisdom, reason, equity, etc. – and demonstrated that the existence of separate material interests knocks all these on the head. A man motivated by interest cannot be a man of reason” -Kandiaronk a truly free man
