The Time We Are About To Build

As I find commentary on history, freedom and the need to develop a fair and just political order, I will post such ideas on this blog. Feel free to add your thoughts on achieving freedom and justice in Wisconsin, nationally and the world.

History’s most important ideal has been that of freedom, even though it is a burden not all (wo)men are capable of bearing.

            Freedom is simple and unique.

            It must be secured on all flanks in collective action.

            The first of these includes guarantees of a political order.

            The effort to solidify these guarantees should become a lasting feature of our times.

              And of the time we are about to build.
