Preamble

This Manifesto establishes the foundations of liberism, the architecture of its transition and the bases of its social organization.

I. The liberist thesis
  1. The State creates social problems because it bases social organization on coercion.
  2. Liberism frees us from the State and bases social organization on contract.
II. The coercive nature of the State
  1. The State seeks to organize society through coercive mandates, backed by the use or threat of violence, through taxes and regulations.
III. Why the State creates social problems
  1. When the State imposes directives coercively, it nullifies free competition. Without it, the process of discovery and cost calculation is interrupted: alternatives are not contrasted, preventing the most effective ones from emerging. This condemns society to rigidity and inefficiency.

    Lacking reliance on voluntary consent, the State lacks incentives for excellence, even under good intentions. This concentration of power allows errors to persist without correction and, in the event of acting in bad faith, facilitates grave abuses against which there is no effective defense.
  2. When social organization is based on contract, solutions compete freely. Individuals choose those that prove to be most efficient, while others lose support and disappear, allowing for a constant process of comparison and improvement.

    By depending on voluntary support, the incentives for proper execution are permanent. Errors are corrected naturally and the abuse of power remains limited by the very structure of the system, since the absence of coercion prevents anyone from imposing their will upon the rest.
IV. What liberism is and how it frees us from the State
  1. Liberism is the political system that carries out the transition of States, based on coercion, to contractual confederations, and establishes the principles of their organization.
  2. Liberism frees us from the State and prevents its reappearance by applying the following four measures:

Secession of private territories
Citizens have the power to secede any private territory from the State. Seceded territories cease to obey regulations and pay state taxes, forcing the State to compete on equal terms with other organizations.

Suffrage of non-recipient citizens
Only those who have returned the income and subsidies of goods and services received from the State may vote. This restriction applies regardless of how much has been paid for other concepts. This changes the incentives of the State from expansive to contractive.

Liquid democracy
Citizens can propose and vote on laws directly or delegate these faculties. This guarantees flexibility and fidelity between the will of the voters and political acts.

Radical separation of powers
The legislative, executive and judicial powers are separated in their origin and operation to guarantee the correct application of the law.

V. How liberism organizes society through contract
  1. Liberism creates a society organized in liberist confederations: unions of seceded territories that retain their sovereignty and agree to coordinate on certain common matters, such as defense, justice or mutual aid.
Conclusion

Systems based on coercion can only fail due to the lack of incentives and information they produce, which is why it is necessary to implement a system based on contract.

By liberating the present, we also liberate human possibilities; it becomes possible to look upward, and not just at what is before us.

We belong to the stars; freedom returns us to them.
