Freedom, Freedom, Freedom...
"Freedom doesn't go searched in state,but in the heart of free persons"Rousseau
If the idea of freedom is awakened in men, the 'free men' will always push forward their emancipation; on the contrary, if comes them imparted an education, they will try always to model to the events in the way more suitable and elegant, degenerating in submissive and servile beings.
Dominated by religion and politics, man feels in the condition of 'should to be': he must become this or that, he must be this or that. With this postulation, with this mandatory, everyone isn't set only in front of others, but also in front of himself.
The power of modern state consist of have recognized the importance of controlling of consciences. In modern state, the laws are 'inside' the person, making in way than 'freedom' means simply the freedom to obey to the laws in which everyone have learned to believe.
Domination doesn't consist only in making a definite ideology becomes own, with directed and foreseeable references to the needs of the society, but it recover to the ideal too, to the ethic mandatory than assure the fidelity of people. Therefore, there are two levels of mental gears. The first level affects the people in every days life: people go to the church or pay the taxes because it has been taught to them, it is the way everyone live. In the second level there are the ideal, the ideal that make people sacrifice themselves for homeland, try to be like Christ, ideal that make them abdicate their own identity in favor of incomprehensible destinations. And it's on this kingdom of ideas where has been constructed the power of state and church; patriotism and religious fervor become the expression of people possessed by ideal.
Based on this idea, people become creatures pushed to sacrifice their being to a 'should to be', person who are not owner of themselves, but belong to the idea of that what they should be.
"STATE AND RELIGION ARE FOUNDED ON THE TEACHING OF DOGMA; IF PERSONS WERE REALLY OWNER OF THEMSELVES, DON'T RECOGNIZING ANY USEFULNESS TO STATE OR RELIGION, THEY WOULD REJECT THEM" Stirner
Freedom is the right to have and the right to choose ours own ideal and believes.
Freedom means be able to be ourselves
Give freedom to the child means give him the opportunity to grow without a conscience, in the meaning of imposed ethic authority.
The today's world is obsessed by physical, ethics and sexual problems of childhood. Family and school have both contributed to take off the child from the adult society...The interest of family, church, moralists and governors have deprived the child of freedom.
It needs to transcend the limits of the modern concept of childhood: the more earlier possible, the child must become a miniature adult, a person who practice every right and privilege that are now conferred to the adults.
