Freespace Movement

Definition and Concepts

A socio-political movement of the capsuleer class eschewing state, corporate, and alliance imperialism, specifically as it pertains to restrictions on trade, travel, and resource extraction in space.

Hard-line advocates dismiss all claims to territorial ownership and sovereignty, preferring the absence of governance (anarchy) to any style of governance that places resistrictions on personal liberties.

Notable Contributions

"Freespace is a simple enough concept yet it would seem the implications are complex, so often is it misunderstood...'freespace' is the principle of absolute freedom of movement and action with respect to that which cannot properly be said to be any one entity's property...Space cannot be owned. Any given volume can only transiently be occupied by a given body. Any volume of space, no matter how small or large, not currently occupied is available to all...Space is not the property of any one individual, any one corporation, any one alliance. Nor is it 'property in common', for that retains the notion that it is property at all."
