I would like to share with everyone here some information that would strengthen the libertarian position in polls around the world. My name is Bob LLewellyn and I am part of a project that is pioneering the concept of ocean colonization, or seasteading, if you prefer. The Marinea Project is not in itself a libertarian project, it is a solution to Earth over population. We have over 7 billion people on this planet fighting over just 12% of the Earth's surface. By 2050 that number will be in excess of 10 billion. The wars and rummer of wars that you hear in the background along with riots and terrorist plots all have a common source, over population.
Once we prove to the world that ocean living is a viable option to war, people will quit killing and start colonizing. The technical capabilities required to begin this project have already been found and ready for deployment. However, the plan calls for people living in boats at first, then in specially designed floating sea homes in an intentional community. That means some form of government will need to be developed. Several of the key members of that project are libertarians and suggested that we didn't have to worry about designing a government if we invited the third largest political party in the US to join us.
Marinea already has the endorsement of the South Carolina Libertarian Party and is seeking endorsements from other state parties and countries as well. The benefits to the Libertarian Party and members are many but the four that stands out the most is having an actual working libertarian government to point to as an example how liberty can work. Also advertising that will come as a result of the projects news capability. Remember many people still have never even heard of libertarianism. This first libertarian government will also be a test bed to see how different aspects of the libertarian ideal behaves in real life. Plus the insurance factor, a place to run in case of a zombie attack.
The benefits to individuals are significant as well. Memberships become citizenships when there are enough members to form our own floating country. In addition, founding members will be given basically a gift certificate called a Sea-Note for the same amount as the membership, to be used for future products or services at Marinea once it has been established. Now after Marinea does become its own nation, cost to become a citizen will be much higher than memberships are now - yet one sea-note will still be the whole cost for citizenship for one person. You will be able to purchase additional Sea-Notes to sponsor additional family and friends, while knowing that your purchases are helping to create some place special.
You can read more about the project at marinea.org If you like what you see and would like to help us, would you please ask your state or country's party to look at the information and send us your states endorsement and mention our project to any libertarian talk-shows and media outlets in your area. Thanks in advance...
