Individual Freedom

(Edited)

Hi everyone,

Going for a walk with a good friend, we shared a good discussion about the recent situation in Kazakhstan, and we reached a fast conclusion: no government has the moral right to suppress the freedom of their own people, and does not have the right to intervene when certain individuals manifest opposing opinions.

Only individuals should speak their mind when their interests are affected by actions of others, and in such situations to agree on a third party mediator.

Role of the government is to impose “legal” standards agreed between the people over which it has authority, and is never moral that these standards create a direct prejudice over anyone in that community, without offering a fair compensation and giving the chance to opt out, for example through immigration.

Any other forms of government are to be considered a dictatorship, even when they are supported by the majority of "their" people (dictatorship of the majority).

Personally I lived through such regime.

The communism dictatorship of Romania had a support of the majority (at least in the last decades), and became a totalitarian "democracy" that nobody dared to question.

Few people tried, and their lives, families and connections have been destroyed, and their fate putted at the disposition of the government. Many times those heroes were named traitors of a cause to which they never subscribed.

My personal believe is that "The Good" will always win in the end, and if the victory is still not there, certainly that is not "The End" of it. The alternative would be billions of lives not worth to live.

The Romania dictatorship ended in December 1989, after two thousand heroes made the ultimate sacrifice.

I do remember those days. Days of terror coming from "people's tanks" and "people's guns" firing from shadowed places. Days of terror comming as a gift from the leaders of a legit government.

I walked yesterday with my friend through the places where the battles of the Romanian Revolution were won by unnamed heroes who knew that good will always win in the end.

Very little remembers today of that past, except a single building on a small street behind the building of the National Television. No commemorative plate tells the story of the past, but for me, the marks left by thousands bullets is good enough to remember an important value: freedom.
