A Real Struggle: Tying together progressive philosophy

For me the real struggle is between:

  • those that want to let other people do their own thing,
  • and people that want to control other people.

That is the basic conflict for me.  

I know that there are other more important things from a material perspective but these all follow logically from letting people do their own thing.  The word follow is misleading because in fact the examples precede the logical connection, which is deduced from the evidence at hand.  There is a connection between having the right to liberty,  

The issue of labor is people doing what they think is best, they want more control of the workplace because of the time they spend there.  That’s the right to do your own thing… wherever you are, however you are spending your time, because it is your time and you have a finite supply of it.
