I try to stay out of ideology as much as possible. Unless you consider freedom an ideology.

I think the left is largely right about the right, and the right is largely right about the left.

I find myself in tune with this vision ... and yes ... I feel that freedom can be considered if not an ideology, at least an idea ... one of the most difficult to get rid of ...

In a way, freedom is an anti-ideology.

Freedom is simply ethics in action.

Ideologies seem to invent large constructs and narratives that pretend that under certain circumstances and if the right people do it, ethics must be cast aside for a greater good.

I disagree. Ethics and freedom ARE the greatest good. Any society that puts something else above that (equality, for example) is doomed to totalitarianism.

In other words:

Ideologies are systems of pseudo-ethics.

"Ethics and Freedom ARE the greatest good" ... ...It is one of the expressions that comes closest to identifying my "cornerstones" to be able to create a dignified reality

But ethics in this Humanity it's so rare that we risk forgetting it

But what is freedom? Freedom for whom? Freedom from what? Freedom from whom? Freedom for what?

The way I see it, there are two kinds of freedom:

The first is animal freedom, as expressed in the Satanist (materialist) motto "do as thou wilt"

The second is freedom as a network of those who respect and defend individual rights.

Individual (property) rights are an extension of self-ownership.

I prefer to use person over individual as it gives credence to the organic foundation of said persons, individuals do not exist in themselves as a finger does not exist without the context and life of the body as a whole a person has no life outside of the context of the people(shared soil, culture, way of life, economy). A person is already American, Russian, Indian, African, etc. before they have any sort of personal agency to declare the individual) There is negative(freedom from) freedom and positive(freedom for) freedom, the former is the satanic and seeks to cut man from all seemingly coercive ties and eventually the coercion of being a member of humanity itself.
