Political Thought should embrace the Equality and Freedom of every Real Individual in the Social.
Political thought and Law should embrace, define, and protect, the Equality and Freedom of each and every Real Individual in the Social. Of course, the term 'Social', means the 'Condition of Togetherness'. In the Condition of togetherness, every 'Real' Individual is equal and Politically Free. Although a 'Real person' is born 'Absolutely' Equal and Absolutely Free, in the 'Condition of togetherness' there are 'privileges' and 'Limitations'. However these Limitations only apply because living in a 'condition of togetherness', or in 'Groups' has many advantages, but, it also has many 'limitations'. For example; if one drives one must drive on the Right Side of the road; One must stop at all Stop Signs, and one must obey Speed limits etc.. Of course, we all know some Nations require driving on the left side of the road, etc.,. There will be variations, but the important thing is to 'regulate', by Law, the Interactions of 'the People' in Groups of various sizes. Every time one hears the term 'Law', one usually also hears the term 'order'; viz., Law and Order. The 'Goal' is to maintain 'Order' in all the interactions between 'Equal and Free Individuals' by means of Law. Corporations do not Drive, do not eat, do not need medical attention, etc. because they are Legal Fictions. But, Laws also apply to corporations, but they are different, separate, and mostly relate to how Government allows them to be 'created'; their 'self Governance'; and whether they are for 'Profit' or merely for 'Organizational purposes'. They are 'Economic Machines' that 'produce commodities' and 'Objects' for the General Welfare. They are 100% economic, they are producers, they are self-governed and they do 'not Govern' the Polity. The 'availability' of the 'Products and commodities' is made possible by means of the creation of a 'Medium of Exchange', viz., Money. Money is made by the Government, that's why it will prosecute a counterfeiter. Only Government can establish a medium of exchange.and a Medium of exchange should circulate. We need Laws that relate directly to the 'Hoarding' of a Medium of Exchange. Certainly 'Saving money' should be encouraged and 'saving' is not wrong, but 'hoarding' to the extent that it creates a "1%" and a "99%" should be better controlled. Failure to do so endangers Democracy. It 'slides' Democracy into Plutocracy and Oligarchy. A Corporate Economy needs more democratic Duties. Where are the Statesmen?
