Values
We emphasize two values - freedom and empathy. Practically, the goals are to
- help people to find or build a home (without debt), and
- build a 'gift', or non-market, economy - based on sharing, mutual aid and cooperation.
We are not opposed to 'private property'; but - unlike some - we are not obsessed with it, and do not believe it is the 'key to happiness' (as long as one is in a healthy environment with a 'roof over their heads').
Access to land is paramount, but - beyond that - we believe that relationships are at least as important as physical wealth and 'property'.
Liberty
On the question of freedom, we do not regard laws or mandates from either the state or any religious insitutions as sacrosanct, legitimate, or binding - whether these mandates relate to medical treatments, personal behaviour, private relations or anything else.
