<\/a>Mission<\/h3>\n\n

To find financial support for my Washington, DC trip to collect & translate<\/strong> libertarian lessons learned<\/strong> and best practices<\/strong> for the Dutch market.<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>Introduction<\/h3>\n\n

Hello, I’m Pallieter Koopmans. Since 1996 I have been of the firm belief that the way in which we organize and “do” politics as a society can be greatly improved (I saw many fundamental flaws). Since I have learned that we as society have learned significantly and tried many ways to organize our ourselves – there is a growth path! The “recent” significant increase in the speed & reach of communication (via the internet) makes that the next way or wave of methods to organize ourselves is about to be needed. I have found that the libertarian philosophy seems to best match my findings & understandings of current knowledge & trends.<\/p>\n

My primary motivator for you or your organization to sponsor my 1 month study trip is that I know you believe in the fact that (on average) you are the best person to spend your own money (note that there are 4 ways to spend money: your money on yourself, your money on someone else, some else’s money on yourself, someone else’s money on someone else). If you combine that with the libertarian “non aggression principle”, a consequence is that government should only exist to defend the rights of every individual it represents. There is no crime if there is no victim.<\/p>\n

I strongly believe that a more libertarian society is better for the environment, better for those who can not take care of and\/or defend themselves, etc, etc. And better for you \u2026 if you strive for both financial & social freedom! If you agree, hire me to help you. Please contribute, as I need 5000 euro for this trip.<\/p>\n

Much more money is needed to achieve a significant effect. All donations above what is needed for this trip will be used for 80% to fund an endowment from “Het Libertarisch Centrum Nederland” that will invest in projects to achieve a more libertarian society. The other 20% will be donated towards ending slavery in this world (as that is the exact opposite of where I stand for and there are still 27 million<\/a> people held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work or to demand compensation).<\/p>\n\n
