Philosophy of Libertarianz

Someone posted a comment today over here about where the Libertarianz got the inspiration for their animation from. I've been doing a bit of research, and discovered that the animation was done by a Lux Lucre, who unfortunately died last year. He did it for the author of a book called The Adventures of Jonathon Gullible, written by Ken Schoolland. The entire animation, and subsequently the philosophy behind the NZ Libertarianz Party, is based on an exceprt from the epilogue of the book, which is as follows.


My philosophy is based on the principle of self-ownership. You own your life. To deny this is to imply that another person has a higher claim on your life than you do. No other person, or group of persons, owns your life nor do you own the lives of others.


The Libertarianz

You'll find the website for the Libertarianz, the 'NZ Party of Principles'. I believe in their message, and I support them wholeheartedly. If you like their message, maybe you could support them too.

I first noticed them when they released an animated political message into cinemas a few months ago, as a teaser before the movies. I was very impressed with it, and was immediately intrigued to find out more about them, which I did. The written content of the animated message is quoted below, but you can see the video here. I've also linked to their website on the right there.

An Introduction to Liberty

To take life is murder
To take liberty is slavery
And to take property is theft

It is the same whether these are done
By one person acting alone,
By the many acting against the few,
Or even by officials with fine hats.
