Starting from gods, all the way through demigods, pharoahs, kings, dictators, and presidents, humanity has been involved in a long and arduous struggle for freedom. Our masters taught us that political authority and religious authority are essential for peace and safety. That is why, after every epic failure of religion and government, we kept jumping from one god to another god and from one political system to another. Finally, there came a point at which we were told that the real problem is the marriage between church and state.
So, allegedly, church and state were separated, and we were told that the problem was solved. It would work now. Hopes were high. People accepted the new version of the same old once again. Fortunately, during this period, geniuses emerged who formalized the natural order. They started the long and arduous journey, which teaches us that all we needed was a natural order, just like the rest of the universe. The artificial religious and political systems are designed not for our freedom, but to keep us enslaved.
The first phase of this journey back to the natural order started with the formalization of the natural order into capitalism. It was led by great thinkers such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Carl Menger, Friedrich Hayek, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, and Ludwig von Mises. The second phase began by uniting Austrian economics with natural law in the form of a moral Axiom: “It is immoral to initiate force against someone else.” This axiom has rendered the need for any man-made laws and regulations obsolete.
The non-aggression axiom is the end of all the religious and political instruments of slavery. Nature has taken care of everything for us. Just leave us alone, and with the help of nature, we can take the best care of ourselves. This is natural order Deism. No God, no ruler, no saviour, no law giver, no moral authority, no regulations are needed. We were born free, we are free, and we know how to live free. Nature has made it very easy for us. All the wars, all the conflicts, all the disputes, all the murders, all the thefts, all the coercion is to establish the rule of masters, to keep humans enslaved, forever.
The secular, Atheistic state is failing just like every other form of state in the past. Doing the same and expecting different results is not working again. To make it work, we require a radical change. We must end all religious and state coercion and set humans free. Let nature show its power and magic. Natural order Deism is entirely voluntary. No coercion is required or needed. All relationships, personal or business, are voluntary and based on pure co-operation. Just like rape and murder, all coercion is criminal and unacceptable.
All forms of coercion are non-existent in it. No rulers, no taxation, no bans, no sanctions, no more divide, conquer and rule, no you and us. All artificial boundaries and barriers have been removed. Property rights are fundamental in this system, as they are the only rights that have historically maintained peace and freedom, and the only rights that ensure the proper allocation of scarce resources. You are free to do whatever you want, as long as you are not causing harm to someone else. Besides the non-aggression axiom, its foundations are based on praxiological principles, formalized by Ludwig von Mises, which essentially state that all human actions are purposeful.
Natural order Deism also incorporates the principles of direct and indirect voluntary exchange, the most peaceful and productive action that guarantees peace and prosperity. This philosophy and science also appreciates the undeniable fact that free market prices are highly valuable signals that are essential for the proper allocation of scarce resources. Price signals also determine the highly productive production structure. Free markets also determine the most suitable interest rates, a task that is impossible for any authority, including central banks.
Interest rates, in turn, determine the pricing of production factors. Price signals are also key elements in the success of entrepreneurial ventures and risk-taking. Cost, production, and demand determine the profits and incomes of the individuals involved in the production process. In a completely open and free market, it is impossible to have and abuse a monopoly, which means that even if you have an extraordinary product or service, you are still bound by market forces. You may be able to abuse your monopoly for some time, to some extent, but you are competing with billions of potential entrepreneurs. If you continue to abuse your monopoly, sooner or later you will be challenged and taken over by a better competitor.
Money’s purchasing power comes from its scarcity and the difficulty in attaining and producing it. That is why Gold, Silver, and Bitcoin are the best candidates for it. Fiat currencies are highly problematic, causing inflation, excessive credit, and the misallocation of resources, as their supply can be increased by issuing authorities at will without much restraint. The government and other coercive interventions disrupt the natural order of market forces and are destructive to individuals, families, businesses, wealth, production processes, and freedom.
Free market economies are the only system that has come close to ending poverty right here in America for at least the first hundred years, until government interventions became more common and intensive. Up to that point, America, the first major bottom-up society created, had the largest and richest economy ever, the largest and richest middle class ever, and the fastest declines in poverty rates ever. Since the government started the so-called War on Poverty, the growth rates average to a pathetic 2%, the middle class is shrinking, and poverty rates have been either steady or increasing.
Leftism destroyed the economies and societies in the USSR, DPRK, Cambodia, Venezuela, and pre-market reforms in China and India, and it is doing the same here in America. We must stop this ideology of destructionism and murder, and adopt the natural order that guarantees freedom and peace. We must show some gratitude for the paradise we are gifted here in the USA and do our best to stop the proponents of highly centralized coercion.
