Januari 31st we participate in an event called ‘Vrijheid in Actie’. This event is aimed at Dutch speakers, but non-natives in the liberty movement will encounter plenty of English speakers there. It’s a networking event that aims to increase cooperation between various freedom organizations. If you want to do something, do not miss this!
How freedom can resolve consumerism
Consumerism is a major curse of our time: many people say they are against it, very few manage to do things differently and truly live an environmental friendly lifestyle. While it is not the aim of our community to save the environment, we do facilitate a lifestyle that is much more environmentally friendly than mainstream […]
The art of libertarian procrastination
The film Idiocracy has aged from a lighthearted comedy to a cult-classic. Originally it was not meant as a serious social criticism on our times.

The covid plandemic demonstrated how (medical) tyranny can be implemented from one day to the next. We should prepare for future events.

And we are doing this in a time of instant gratification and massive distraction from our gadgets. But the rewards are huge too: liberty in our lifetime, for our children, and […]
Liberty within our lifetime…
A week ago, the first floating house or ‘Sea Pod’ was presented by Ocean Builders. This company is affiliated with the Seasteading Institute, a libertarian organization originally founded by Patri Friedman (grandson of Milton). What would have been a milestone in an ambitious project to achieve ‘liberty within our lifetime’ went horribly wrong. The ‘Seapod’ […]
First meeting of Free Commune members
Any type of movement starts with convincing people of an idea, and generating trust between members to be able to work as a team to achieve an objective. Freedom is a great idea, but people who enjoy their own freedom are usually not likely join a movement for a common cause. It has always been […]

Starting a Free Commune part II
