Liberty/equality

Liberty

- We should have a free press where everyone can voice any views they like on society. Power must be scrutinised at all times and all individuals can voice dissenting views. No opinions should be silenced.

- Autonomy should be a human right. Most individuals want to choose what to do with their own lives - depriving them of that right deprives them of their humanity.

- Markets are usually the most effective way of allocating resources.

- There should be property rights - individuals should be able to start businesses and own their intellectual property.

- Society is more interesting when it is pluralistic and diverse, not homogeneous. Difference should be celebrated, not ostracised. 

Equality

- There should be safety nets that mitigate the excesses of a free-for-all market capitalism.

- Health care should be socialised. Health problems can't be predicted and are accidental - hence, it rests upon the state to provide health care for everyone, free at the point of use.

- Education should be a human right and quality education should be equally accessible to everyone.

- Markets should not be left alone - they should be regulated so that the public is not taken advantage of. There should be a minimum wage and some union labour rights.

- The government should control equality of outcome to some degree. There should be some redistribution of wealth to ensure that one segment of society is not exceedingly richer than the rest, as this creates inequality, resentment and it is unjust.

- There should be social reforms that tackle social injustices, unfairness and other forms of discrimination.

- There should be social programs that assist people and help them back to work.

- Utilities should be publicly owned, as they are something that people need and private companies should not ratchet up prices to chase profits.
