At the post, “Silent Catalonia” Rises Up Against Secessionists, unkown asks:
Bob, would you lot concur that, fifty-fifty though you lot intend they shouldn't too it volition resultant inwards a negative effect if they do, Catalans convey the correct to secede?
My respond is multifold.
First, I don't believe
inwards the concept of "natural rights," then I spend upward the inquiry on that foundation.
Second, individuals deed non regions. Thus, I run into no argue to cheer on a bulk who desire to march into hell. I volition stick alongside my libertarian brothers fifty-fifty if at that spot is exclusively i too at that spot is at to the lowest degree one who chooses to rest nether the dominion of Spain, which appears from all reports a much freer suggestion than the regime that would prepare nether a divide Catalonian state.
Finally, it is of import to brand clear to libertarians that secession is only a tool. It tin deed a share toward to a greater extent than liberty or away from it.
It is dizzy to cheer tools. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 hammer, which is a tool, tin live on used to bang nails into forest to laid upward a house, a expert thing. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 hammer tin also live on used to hitting a victim over the caput during a robbery, non such a expert thing.
Whenever a tool is used, nosotros should ask, Is this tool existence used for expert or bad?
Using secession to march a share into a radical leftist regime does non seem to me that it is something a libertarian would desire to cheer on.
