Otsuka's Utopia

We start from natural rights independent of any hypothetical contract.

We each have the right to full ownership of our life, body, mind, and labor.

We each have the right to acquire unowned parts of the world subject to a Lockean proviso.

That is, we must leave as much and as good for others, including future generations.

The best version of this proviso is equal opportunity for welfare.

Disabled people get enough resources to trade for their welfare.

Others get enough to achieve welfare by applying their labor.

It is possible for those who work hard and are lucky to become rich.

But at death whatever we own must go back to an unowned status.

We have a right to self defense and to protect our property.

We can voluntarily transfer some of these rights to a government.

Governments require the consent of the governed.

This consent requires a pluralism of political societies to choose from.

Or we can secede and form our own individual monity.

Members of a political society could choose an illiberal system.

But it must be voluntary and children on adulthood must be able to move where they choose.

The various localities will need to transfer some rights to a larger political framework.

This is needed mainly to adjudicate disputes between localities.

Laws and constitutions should periodically lapse to allow the true consent of the living.
