But when men are free to think and to act on their thinking, when the mind is liberated, the Renaissance and the Enlightenment are possible.
Freedom Is Freedom of the Mind
Oppression Is Oppression of the Mind
Universal and Inevitable!
It is no accident that man's freest periods have seen his greatest achievements. From the Golden Age of Athens to the Italian Renaissance to the technological and industrial breakthroughs of the United States, the freedom of man's mind has led to magnificent advances in philosophy, the arts and science.
This is the promise and the possibility of capitalism. This is the Capitalist Vision. It is our vision!
Liberate man's mind and behold the spectacle of his advance. Revel in the beauty of his sculptures, paintings and symphonies, soar with the heroes of his novels, marvel at his philosophic, scientific and technological advance.
The West progressed culturally and economically because it had at least some reverence for man's mind and the inalienable rights of the individual.
These are the inescapable prerequisites of human advancement. If we desire the effect of cultural Renaissance, we must enact the cause of political/economic freedom.
The current predicament of the Third World's starving millions is identical to that of Europe in the Dark Ages. Their minds and bodies are oppressed by political dictators.
Give them freedom - and give them life. They have the advantage of seeing what the West has accomplished. When they institute freedom, they can replicate the achievements of capitalism.
Your Life, Your Choice!
Capitalism is the greatest benefactor man has ever had. It is time for the thinking men and women of every nation to recognize that fact and to fully embrace the system of the mind and of individual rights.
Men and women of all countries unite - in your support of capitalism.
You have a world of joyous achievement to win!
