How do you define 'liberty'?

Is it a dichotomy or is it a continuum?

If the latter, what does it mean for someone to be freer or less free than someone else?

liberty is subjective

some people see capitalism as enslavement since you can addicted to drugs and your hands are in the lives of corporations and you must work to buy food.

some see private property as Liberty to do what you would like to do with it

it's the biggest spook

Liberty is the absence of coercion.

It's only a continuum in the sense that there are a myriad of policies that can restrict liberty on any topic, but in principle you're either sovereign or not.

>How do you define 'liberty'?

By looking in a dictionary if you genuinely can't figure it out.

All shitposting aside though, liberty can simply be defined as the ability to exercise agency over one's self, his own body and consequentially his property. Freedom can also be defined similarly, as power over one's self (hence the two are synonymous and often interchangeable of course).

>If the latter, what does it mean for someone to be freer or less free than someone else?

When it comes to less free it ultimately means someone is less able to exercise the agency stated before in the basic defining of liberty (at least in that aspect, possibly among others). IE: Someone who doesn't have to pay taxes to a state due to living in Ancapistan is more free in this aspect than someone who has to pay a 60% income tax to a massively expansive state.

What exactly does that mean? Is a paralyzed person less free due to not being able to control his body as much as a normal person?

I would actually say yes, but also that no one is inherently responsible for alleviating this situation (a few natural caretakers, like parents, aside). It's the same with the victim of an accident, and the victim of a crime: Both are physically hurt, but it does not follow from that that they have the same claims. In the latter case, you clearly have someone you can hold responsible, the criminal who caused the physical harm. In the former, you may have someone responsible, or you may not. Depends. The case for "maximizing" liberty is as spurious as that of "maximizing" health, or utility, or anything else. You cannot quantify these things, and you cannot establish a meaningful moral compass around maximizing them. Still, we can meaningfully call a system libertarian if it aims at reducing infractions of liberty stemming from human actions.

Now, I'd be disappointed if no one was bothered with me not giving a definition of liberty. I see liberty as the capacity to freely dispose with what is rightfully yours. On a first glance, this sounds like positive liberty, but it's really not. Positive liberty is really just power, the ability to do what you want. In my conception, liberty is the power to act with what is yours only. If you had wings, liberty would entail being able to fly. You don't, so if you cannot fly, that does not mean your liberty is limited. However, as you have arms, and are naturally endowed with them, that means your liberty is, in fact, limited if you cannot use them due to being paralyzed.

With property, it is much the same. If you own a plane, then having liberty means being able to use that plane. If you do not own one, you are completely free even if you cannot use one. In practice, then, my conception is extremely close to negative liberty. However, it accounts for some oddities: According to the concept of negative liberty, two men may be in exactly the same position - like both stuck in a hole - and yet one may be free as a bird, and the other a slave, because the former slipped in by accident, while the second was shoved. I find that odd, and so do most people. There is a difference in the situation of the two men, but that lies not in their predicament, but in what claims they have. I think my conception also enables you to account for the few cases where paternalism appears to be obviously the correct course of action, like with the mentally retarded, temporarily insane, or with children. (Those are the cases libertarians - rightfully - try to weasel their way around, because solving them with the concept of negative liberty is deeply unsatisfying. Most libertarians do know that it is wrong to let a suicidal person kill himself, but their philosophical itself framework kinda fails on this point, as it usually tells them that taking a knife from a suicidal person is an infringement of their liberty. I would say it isn't, as they are not at liberty to begin with, having lost the use of their reason due to temporary insanity.)

I don't see my idea as in any sense competing with the more mainstream libertarian ideas. More like an advancement of them. It's not even that radically different, just finetuning in practice.

Well, yes. Since they will depend on other people to do things for them, as a consequence they have less freedom than a normal person. But that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to them.

Liberty (or freedom or whatever you want to call it) can only be defended as a consequence of private property rights, and not as an end in and of itself; If someone has absolute freedom, that would mean they can do anything they want to anyone and still not be wrong (which is a retarded but common "argument" against the misleadingly-named libertarianism)

>What exactly does that mean? Is a paralyzed person less free due to not being able to control his body as much as a normal person?

To a degree absolutely, but I don't think that exactly has much to do with what I said (or at least what I meant to communicate). In fact I think your point operates on a different context entirely. We can take someone who's perhaps crippled and you could argue that he's certainly less able than someone who can control all of his body and of course come to the conclusion that the cripple is (Wouldn't you know it?) disabled but the implication that, all things being equal, he's less free is a big stretch. He can still exercise agency over himself, which is to say that he can still make his own choices in regards to his body and the resources that he has, sure he might not be able to physically control, say, his legs but he's still the owner of them and as such gets to make decisions as to how they're utilized as opposed to someone who, for shits and giggles, wants to cut his legs off and use them as a substitute for firewood. He exercises agency, now the minute you come to a situation with someone who genuinely can't exercise agency and you come across an interesting situation where you certainly could argue convincingly that he's less free in all regards.

We can just easily compare the potential of two individuals, one with an IQ of 100 and the other with an IQ of 160. The person with the IQ of 160 has the capacity and the opportunity to be a Rocket Scientist, the person with the IQ of 100 on the other hand doesn't seem to pack the mental capability for such an endeavor. The fact that there is a divide in terms of their mental ability doesn't suddenly mean that the less intelligent person is not as free, they're both as free as to exercise agency over themselves.

Yes, but a businessowner is not inflicting starvation on you by refusing, for example, to give you free money.

You need to at least prove that the wealthy are morally obligated to feed you before you can start asserting that your starvation is their responsibility to rectify.

Also yes.

This is a false dichotomy. Starvation can't coerce you because starvation isn't an actor.

Starvation isn't some guy walking behing you wherever you go, yanking food out of your mouth anytime you try to eat. That would be coersion.

Once again: Freedom is not the same thing as absence of coersion. Fredom as you've defined it is an ethically incoherent concept.

Your objections have nothing to do with freedom as an ethical precept, as they have nothing to do with human action. In essence, your're complaining that reality isn't constructed in such a way as to allow you to do whatever you want.

>>100278

>You stop being pedantic

The distinction between ethics and personal morality is a very pertinent one, and can't be dismissed by calling pedantry. Ethics are established rules which dictate what is and is not acceptable behavior within a certain group or institution, while morality refers to individual codes of conduct. Law only ever deals in the former.

>You stop being pedantic.

Specificity is a requirement in political philosophy, which is what this thread is ostensibly about (though we all know it's really /leftypol/ trying to convince people that individuals having the choice to not give you the product of their labour for free is somehow coercive). I'll be as pedantic as I damn well please in a discussion where the objective is to establish a logically consistent framework.

More seriously; I didn't mean to sound dismissive of you but your post is misleading to anyone who's uninformed on voluntaryist ethics.

>By the definitions you've given in the past I have no intrinsic reason to follow ethics if they aren't based in morals.

That makes no sense. From a deontological perspective, which underpins my personal ethics as well as liberalism, libertarianism and voluntaryism, morality is subject to a set of strict ethical rules.

Other systems such as consequentialism make no distinction between morality and ethics since it's the consequences that matter. No ethical system that I know of bases ethics on morality.

>Actually, by your definitions I'm not even incorrect in referring to morals and not ethics here.

If the question was "is it immoral for the rich to be rich while the poor are hungry" you'd be right.

But the question was "is it coersion for the rich to be rich while the poor are hungry". Which it's not.

That's where you're wrong. It's doing exactly what it was created to do.

No. The owners of factories have a valid right to the equipment and infrastructure of that factory, since their suppliers had valid right of ownership over the equipment and transferred it to the owners. The owners of factories are not obligated to let workers use this infrastructure for free. The employment contract that workers, of their own free will, agree to, grants right of ownership over the goods that the workers create (this right of ownership was freely transferred from the worker to the owner) in exchange for payment and use of factory infrastructure.

Feel free to prove that any of these not only exist, but are inherently coherent concepts which can exist.
