Emancipationism

• True mental liberty cannot be achieved a in modern society, however, one should take the measures to reach a state of mental freedom that satisfies them.
• To attain this the closest thing to freedom that we can, we have to remove ourselves of the mental shackles that society places on our minds. These include, but are not only:

1. Racism
2. Sexism
3. Corporate Advertising
4. Political Parties
5. The Media

• Self-expression is the ultimate form of mental liberation, this is why art and music is seen as secondary in our education system and often underfunded by both the State and Federal Government.
• We must always question authority, laws, and any opinion or fact that we read or hear.
• If we see authority being unjust we must take necessary action to change it.
• Pacifism is the ideal and most logical way to make a political change, however, in extreme cases it becomes useless. (I.E. the Holocaust in the 1930s and 40s and African-American Slavery in the 1600s-1800s)
• If our main incentive to live is to make capital, we have failed as a people.
• Too not care about your fellow human beings of the world is arrogance, which is bad for your own self, and the rest of the planet.
