The United States as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

America is suffering from moral & civil unrest that will only destroy the culture of what America once was. The definition of a free society under classical liberalism was freedom to be left alone which is what America's founding fathers fought for. The definition of a free society under socialism is being nannied from cradle to grave with no freedom of choice & responsibility. The now deceased Confederate States of America believed in the principles of classical liberalism that George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams & James Madison fought for in the late 18th century. The Soviet Union believed in the principles of communism & state slavery of the economy that was achieved in the 1917 Russian Revolution. The definition of a free society in the United & Confederate States of America was the freedom to be left alone & live life how you as an individual sought fit. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics definition of a free society was welfare & oppression of free markets. Well, the United States has become the new Soviet Union. A more appropriate name for the new Amerika would be the United Soviet States of Amerika which has evolved since 1865, when the Confederate States of America was murdered in cold blood by what was supposed to be the United States of America. Although communist style central planning of the economy did not go to the extreme until Franklin Deficit Roosevelt's Raw New Deal in 1933, the bolshevik style overthrow of a legitimate government in 1865 proves my point that the United States of America died when Fuhrer Abraham Lincoln came to power on March 4, 1861, declaring his intentions to wage war on the seceding states that refused to enforce protectionist tarriffs. Of course, the US Constitution wasn't replaced but the federal courts have had the final say on federal power for nearly 150 years. The USSR has had severe moral decay throughout it's history with people living like sheep, being afraid to assert themselves on pain of bodily harm by the government. The USSA & USSR were the two superpowers during the Cold War from the late 1940's to 1990 with the fall of the Soviet Union. The United Soviet States of Amerika is very indentical to the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in many ways.

My Proposed Constitution: Preamble

We The People hereby establish a confederation of independent & sovereign states which join solely on a voluntary basis on matters such as foreign policy, national defense, & protection of free trade & migration. Unalienable rights come from our creator & are never to be repealed by man-made artificial laws under any circumstances & neither are the foundations that keep the individual states of the confederation sovereign to be changed as to severely surrender the sovereignty of any of the several states against their will.

Every constitution needs a preamble & that's a preamble! The first step in creating a new constitution would be to lay out the foundations for my proposed confederation. As you can see with a preamble like this, the new constitution is a libertarian document.

When a New Constitution is Needed to Protect Liberty

I'm considering leaving the United Soviet States of Amerika for Queensland, Australia hopefully by August of this year & I noticed that the Australian Constitution is not a libertarian document like the former United States of America constitution. I was thinking that in order to protect liberty & shrink government, Australia must adopt a new constitution that is modeled heavily on the Constitution of the former Confederate States of America (1861-65). The new constitution of Australia would need to meet a constitutional convention where mostly Libertarians, Classical Liberals, & laissez-Faire economist activists would be welcomed with open arms. Communists, socialists, fascists & big government centralists would be barred in order to protect liberty & the new constitution from becoming socialist and/or fascist. The new constitution would be based on the philosophies of John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, Adam Smith, Ludwig Von Mises, Frederich Hayek, Murray Rothbard, Aristotle, Judge Andrew Napolitano, & Ron Paul. I know that John Humphreys, libertarian economists & founder of the classical liberal/libertarian Liberal Democratic Party will be one of the most important Australians at my supposed constitutional convention. I also know that senator Cory Bernardi of South Australia is also a libertarian leaning conservative. Another political party that's an important player is Katter's Australia Party that is registered in Queensland. A perfect place to hold the constitutional convention would be in Perth, Western Australia at a convention center. My agenda for a new constitution would be to establish a confederal government like the former Confederate States of America (1861-65) that addresses the issues associated with seperate nations such as foreign policy, interstate trade & travel, civil documents such as drivers licenses, currency, weights & measurements, & naturalization & immigration. All other powers will be reserved to the states & people including the right to secede. Of course, the confederal government would have the power to tax, but only to raise revenue for spending on a specific government policy. The new constitution would also have to have a preamble laying out the foundations of the new confederation that say rights come from our humanity & that they can NEVER be repealed by government laws under any circumstances. Neither could the constitution be amended to compromise the sovereignty of the states. The new constitution should also include a bill of rights just to send the message that rights come from nature & humanity. After the constitutional convention is complete & arrangements for a new constitution have been drafted, it shall go to the voters, although I will offer different varieties of the referendum so I can increase the possibility of an Australian confederation passing. The new constitution proposals will reach the ballot whether the federal commonwealth likes it or not. Hopefully confederation will send a message to the socialist Labor Party lead by Julia Gillard (Current Prime Minister) & the fascist Liberal-National coalition lead by Tony Abbott. The confederation movement will also send a message to the judicial system implying that we ain't gonna take judicial tyranny! My proposed Australian Confederation will have a lot in common with the Southern United States, hopefully reviving the Confederate States of America. If the Australian Confederation & the former Confederate States of America merge together through voluntary union, then the new confederation will be called Confederate States of Ameristralia. If not, it will just be called the Confederate States of Australia. Either way, long live the Confederacy!
