European Freestate Project

First, you can promote the libertarian idea with your family, friends, colleagues, etc. If they are interested in activism towards freedom, point them to the EFP.

Second, we need information about potential target regions to concentrate our efforts. If you know something about some european region with some potential, let us know on the forum and the wiki.

Third, you can of course sign up as Committed Member or Local Supporter and increase the group of activists. Also use our Community Builder to share your contacts.

And last but not least, let us know what is happening with you and around you. Stay in touch with us and share your ideas. Know that you are welcome and let other members feel welcome as well.

The European Freestate Project is an international cooperation of liberty oriented people, who above all, agree on the following fundamental human right:

No human shall use physical force against another human's life, liberty or property except in defence against an imminent use of physical force against life, liberty or property in violation of this principle. 

Our mission is to educate people  on the moral foundation of the fundamental human right, and its effects on human interaction, as well as the formation of a society built on the fundamental human right by committing members to move to a European region and work together to bring about this society.

We do this by providing a platform for both Committed Members and Local Supporters to share their ideas and coordinate their efforts. The Leadership Team of the European Freestate Project is committed to speak and act in accordance with its principles.

The European Freestate Project is about you and me and about the choices we make everyday. Our well being and our life depend on us choosing between what we want and what we are ready to give up for it. But besides our own choices we also depend on the cooperation of our fellow man.

Because this cooperation is so vital to us, we are easily offended if the others choose not to cooperate as we want them to. And many people will resort to violence to force them to comply. Even those who do not use force themselves (and maybe even see the use of force as immoral) will excuse the use of force if done by the government according to their wishes. If you hear the words "The government should ..." you may always substitute the words "I want other people to be forced to ...".

But using force - except in self defence - is still immoral. Using government as the instrument makes no difference. And no amount of democratic voting can legitimatise immoral behaviour. Besides the use of force always produces quite the contrary of its intentions. Because force produces hostility and hostility reduces the will to cooperate. Therefore force worsens the problem instead of solving it.

There is, however, an alternative. We, the members of the European Freestate Project, are fed up with other people legitimizing the government to use force against peaceful people for the alleged common good. Aggressing against peaceful people can never be good. We want to live in a society where every human interaction is based on mutual voluntary agreement. This is called the free market. We understand that the maximum role of government is to protect this mutual voluntarism.

In a purely voluntary society you are never deprived of the result of your productive effort. Your ability to satisfy demands of the market turns into a right to consume from other people's production as they were previously consuming from your production. This is the highest form of social cooperation because every man's desire to satisfy his own wants is immediatly transformed into a desire to satisfy another mens wants as this is the only way to obtain goods in the free market.

Only through government interference can another option become available: To obtain goods from the market not by producing goods yourself but by taxing producers through government. With this option available it immediately becomes more desirable not to produce through your own labour but to lobby for government subsidies. The obvious result is steadily falling numbers of producers and a steadily rising number of government subsidized consumers who do not produce anything themselves. This is the situation in Europe today, where every productive man has to feed four other men who he doesn't even know, and who do not produce anything.

Our mission is to stop this madness and return to a society where every man has an unconditional right to retain the wealth and property that he has gained by his own productive labour. Only then is true social cooperation possible.
