🐕 New Year's Eve miracle: how an MTLA activist rescued a dog in Herceg Novi and found its owners

Sometimes miracles happen at the most unexpected moment. This story, which started as a drama, turned into a happy moment of life.

It all started when a dog was found in the bushes that seemed to be on the verge of life and death. The dog was unresponsive to people, refused food and water, was shivering and looked completely helpless. He whimpered at first, then fell silent. It was Sunday, the stores and vets were not open, and heavy rain was promised during the night. It was impossible to leave the dog in such a state, and Maxim @maximsivokon decided to take him home to at least give him the last hours of warmth and care.

But miracles began to happen the very next day. The dog was taken to the vet, where it turned out that it was not as hopeless as it seemed. He was a Bosnian hound, calm and affectionate despite his ordeal. He withstood all the shots, blood draws for tests and even a bath with dignity!

He was washed, warmed, treated and fed. Every day the dog became more and more courageous: he began to eat, drink, take interest in the world around him and even fight for a place on the couch. Blood tests showed that he was healthy, despite a small gastritis, which was quickly cured.

But the most important miracle happened later. Through the wife of the realtor managed to find the old owners of the dog! It turned out that the dog was lost a few months ago, and his family had no hope of finding him anymore. The reunion was touching and emotional - tears of joy, hugs and gratitude.

This story is a reminder that even in the most difficult moments, we shouldn't give up hope. The dog not only survived, but also returned home, thanks to the efforts and indifference of good people.

❤️ May miracles are happening in everyone's life this year!

Why states are "contracting jurisdictions"... and why not? 🤔

To speak the same language, it's worth defining the appropriate terms first. The state itself is

a political form of organization of society on a certain territory, a sovereign form of public authority, possessing an apparatus of governance and coercion, to which the entire population of the country is subordinated.

However, is it possible to visualize this form of governance differently? For example, as a competing service on the market? This is the alternative that the concept of contractual jurisdictions offers.

Most succinctly, "contract jurisdictions" or "panarchism" can be described as:

"states" or, more precisely, organizations supplying public services that have lost their territorial monopoly

This idea is developed within the philosophy of anarcho-capitalism, where the state is perceived as an inefficient monopolist. Instead of mandatory obedience to territorial laws, citizens are encouraged to choose a jurisdiction, just as they choose an insurance company or an internet provider.

Contract jurisdictions (as an idea) recognizes a certain need for violent intervention in the actions of individuals to establish order. It recognizes the importance of institutions, even those based on violence, while identifying the main problem of the state, as a phenomenon in general, not in its violent nature and origin - but in its inefficiency.

What is the inefficiency of the modern state? In the absence of an alternative. These days, it is quite easy to leave the borders of one's country and move somewhere else, if one wishes and is able. Rules and laws vary greatly from "jurisdiction" to "jurisdiction" and you may well choose whichever one you like. Like the freedom-loving, federalized States? How about tolerant and multicultural Germany? How about socially-oriented Sweden? The choice is yours.

The idea of panarchism suggests that jurisdictions become extraterritorial. This means that one's choice of laws and rules to which one is subject is not limited by territory. For example, you can live in one country but be a client of a jurisdiction operating under the laws of another.

On the one hand, states do claim to be contractual jurisdictions. Here are the main arguments:

⎔ Obtaining a passport or citizenship can be interpreted as an agreement with the rules of the game: by obtaining a passport at age 14, a person formally agrees to follow the country's legal system.
⎔ In schools we are taught the basics of law and sociology, forming a basic understanding of the social and legal system. A person knows in advance that there are rules and understands how they work.
⎔ Emigration as an option to change jurisdiction is available to anyone who consciously chooses another country with more suitable laws.

But there are some serious counterarguments:

⎔ In reality, a person does not choose a jurisdiction, but is born into it. There is no alternative within a single territory - you cannot change your "contract" within a single country.
⎔ Legislation is created that is complex and incomprehensible to most people, making voluntary consent to it illusory.
⎔ Enforcement of laws based on the use of force is often unjust and disproportionate.

Each of us can make a conscious choice of another "contractual jurisdiction" by emigrating to one of the 193 countries on the planet or, for example, to Montenegro (see the article "All Roads Lead to Montelibero"), where the basis of the extraterritorial contractual jurisdiction of the Montelibero project is based. The choice and acceptance of the "contract" of such jurisdictions comes with the informed acquisition of residence permit or citizenship.

Support the Montelibero Association's internal market - buy from your fellow!

The Association continues to strengthen ties within the community by developing its own marketplace for services and goods. On December 18, the MTLA Board adopted the Protectionist Agreement, whose main objective is to create a real internal market where members can interact on the basis of mutual trust and support.

💖 Why is it needed?

The most important task of the agreement is to simplify the implementation of the "buy from your fellow" principle. It is not just a declaration, but a clearly described algorithm of work, which helps residents of the association to save resources, find reliable suppliers and strengthen horizontal ties within the community.

💖How does it work?

Proposals are posted in the profile section of MonteWiki. If a member can't do it themselves, they will be helped via @mtl_helper_bot.
Prioritity — our fellows. If there are identical offers on the market, participants tend to choose those who are more deeply integrated into the community and have a larger number of MTLA tokens.

If the right offer is not available - information can be posted in the "Association Deficit" section for other members to fill in.

💖Feedback and reputation

Each member recognizes the importance of maintaining a reputation. If there are questions or complaints about the quality of the service, it is first suggested to address them in a feedback format in the dedicated chat section @Montelibero_Agora

💖Why is it beneficial for you?

Becoming part of the internal market, you not only save money at the expense of reliable partners, but also strengthen the community, creating conditions for the growth of well-being of all project participants. Positive feedback and recommendations are posted here.

And here is one such participant - a master of electronics repair in Bar @MaestroRemont. Now you can repair your appliances with payment in EURMTL by supporting a like-minded member!

🐍 Reason: flagships of libertarian thought

The Reason Foundation and their publication Reason is one of the most respected media outlets in the world of libertarianism.

Since 1968, Reason magazine, which began as a small samizdat publication, has grown into a powerful media platform with millions of readers worldwide. Their mission is to cover the key issues of our time. The publication regularly publishes on freedom of speech, human rights, economic policy, and the role of government in society.

Reason Foundation, founded in 1978, is not just a publishing house. It is a serious think tank that develops policies and solutions for privatization, education, health care, transportation, trade, and even climate change. The foundation's early supporters included such renowned economists and thinkers as Milton Friedman and Murray Rothbard.

What makes Reason interesting today?

Today Reason is not just a magazine for libertarians. It is a platform for anyone who values critical thinking, individual freedom, and pragmatic solutions to global challenges.

Especially noteworthy and interesting are the fresh articles about the most pressing and controversial topics on the Reason Foundation's website: https://reason.org/.

🔥 January 6 is traditionally celebrated in Montenegro as Бадњи дан (Christmas Eve)!

This is part of the Christmas customs. The traditions of Christmas were inherited in the Balkans from their ancestors and are still preserved today. On Christmas Eve they cut a branch of the oak tree, which has always been a sacred tree among the Slavs. Christmas Eve (among the Serbs) is associated with the Slavic deity Svyatovit.

According to local tradition in Montenegro we will also come together at First Montelibero Club - we will burn a bonfire, drink mulled wine, and have an open discussion on freedom and tradition - try to understand how libertarian principles are combined with cultural and religious traditions, including the celebration of Christmas.

The bonfire will be lit by 18:00 (January 6)! 🔥 Come to https://maps.app.goo.gl/uHn655D3Regvz8E38

It would be great if you take some firewoods.

🐍 Libertarian parties in the world

There are about 100 libertarian parties in the world. The largest number of such parties are registered in Canada, the United States and Italy. Libertarian ideas find supporters on all continents, from Europe to South America, from Asia to Oceania.

The 19 parties are members of the International Alliance of Libertarian Parties (IALP), which is an alliance of libertarian political parties around the world. Its mission is to promote libertarian ideas internationally. It is headquartered in Switzerland. 

The table contains the currently publicly known libertarian parties: go to the table (commenting available) 📄

More and more people seek freedom, minimal government intervention and maximum responsibility for their lives. However, at the moment libertarian parties are finding it difficult to win seats in parliament. This is evidenced by public data: even in countries with several libertarian parties, such as Canada or the USA, they do not manage to overcome a high electoral threshold. The reasons for this lie in several factors.

First, libertarian ideas are still niche and are often perplexing or misunderstood by the general public. For voters accustomed to more traditional views, it is difficult to accept concepts that go beyond the usual state responsibility and control. Second, many libertarian parties are still small and lack the resources for large-scale election campaigns, which puts them at a disadvantage compared to larger political forces.

In addition, the electoral system in most countries is geared toward large parties, making it difficult for smaller political movements to get into parliament. Despite this, libertarian movements continue to grow, develop international alliances, and offer innovative solutions that can provide an alternative to established political paradigms.

If such initiatives gain greater recognition and support, there is a chance that in the future libertarians could take key positions in legislatures and begin to put their ideas into practice, creating a society based on the principles of freedom, voluntary interaction, and minimal government intervention.

🏔 @Montelibero_ru and similar communities play an important role in this process, bringing together like-minded people who can change the world. We are not a political party and we are not tied to a specific country. But we realize the ideas and apply the principles of libertarianism in practice, starting from Montenegro. 🤲 Everyone can join and participate in our project remotely from anywhere in the world. 

We create an ecosystem where people can live, work, invest and develop without excessive government control. Instead of fighting for power, we create real tools that allow people to become free right now.

🌱 Harvest in December in @MTL_city

The season of pleasant surprises continues in the @MTLSaPLab forest garden! December harvested:
🍓 Strawberries
🌿 Parsley
🍃 Laurel leaf
🍈 Melon

In November, the plant collection was expanded to 69 species. Among them:
- Milk thistle (Silybum marianum)
- Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera)

The seed collection has grown to 20 species including:
- Ginkgo biloba
- Magnolia grandiflora.

🎯 Goals of @MTLSaPLab:
- Seed bank formation
- Plant breeding for restoration of natural benefits
- Creation of forest gardens-eco-farms instead of wastelands and lawns
- Developing aquaponics, automation and year-round greenhouses
- Designing a future where biodiversity, healthy nature and delicious organic food are all around us

The SaPLab project is growing and developing, but they need an additional plot of at least 100 m² to scale. The authors of the project dream of creating a nursery for plant collections, a breeding laboratory, a permaculture forest garden and the formation of a seed bank.

In the forest garden, cultivated plants neighbor with wild plants, creating a unique ecosystem. The harvest is ecological: without chemistry, weeding, fertilizing and monocultures.

Desires for the plot:
- Electricity and water (payment at the expense of the project)
- Winter temperature not lower than +5°C
- Clean soil
- Minimum lease term of 3 years

They are ready to clear the site themselves, improve the soil and turn it into a mini botanical garden.

Meet Paul Emile de Puid, a character so outrageously little known that his English-language Wiki doesn't even have a portrait of him. 

A Belgian botanist and economist of the mid-19th century, he is notable for us because he was the first to formulate the idea of "Panarchy". 

Here's what he himself said about it:

The truth is that proper freedom, the fundamental freedom to choose whether to be free or not according to one's preferences, is not enough.... Therefore, I demand for every member of human society the freedom of association according to inclination, and activity according to ability. In other words, the absolute right to choose the political environment in which to live and to ask for nothing more.

De Puydt described how such a system would be run:

A new office, the "Political Membership Office," would be opened in each community. This office would send each responsible citizen a declaration form to fill out, just like for income tax or dog registration: Question: What form of government would you want? With complete freedom you could answer: monarchy, democracy or any other... and once registered, unless you withdraw your application, observing legal forms and delays, you would become a royal subject or a citizen of a republic. From that point on, you are not connected in any way to anyone's government, any more than a Prussian subject is to the Belgian authorities.

To understand how this works in practice (if the already existing direct analogies from the everyday market are not enough) you can look at the diplomatic and extraterritorial status of foreign diplomats and soldiers, who are beyond the jurisdiction of the local government - based on international treaties they can only be deported to their home country and demand compensation for their damages from the foreign government. 

It is then a matter of granting such rights to all citizens and allowing them to organize into such communities extraterritorially, instead of a constant cycle of choice-based violence between different dominant parties.

What is our strength? The question remains open.

It seems that Friday's discussion on "what is the strength of Montelibero?" never gave a final answer. But is that why we're here? Maybe the point is not to come to a consensus, but the process of discussion itself.

Our strength is the idea that holds people together from all corners of the planet. It's the trust that keeps some people renting cars without contracts and others building collaborative projects. It's the willingness to disagree and find solutions even in the chaos of discussions.

Montelibero is about hundreds of voices and different paths. We don't have a single universal common goal, but there is a shared understanding that each of us is free to build our own. Some see strength in localized businesses, some in toxic irony, and some in the fact that no one here is forced to agree with the majority.

We move at the intersection - between online and offline, between ideas and action. Sometimes it feels like we're scattered, but that's what makes us free. Some people on the contrary mistakenly think that Montelibero is only about Montenegro.

On Friday we talked about resources and advantages: decentralization, tokenomics, inclusiveness, network of contacts, IT potential, high level of trust and solidarity. And also about what is missing: infrastructure, clear goals, management, leaders, common production resources, elaborate logistics, scaling initiatives. And maybe our strength lies precisely in the fact that we keep looking for answers to these questions.

The Montelibero.org project has significant potential through cohesion, decentralization, and ideational basis, but there are no clear goals, resources are not consolidated, and internal conflicts are slowing down development.

So what is our strength? Everyone decides for themselves?
