Liberty is the "political" sphere's null set. Politics is the active (rather than passive) attempt to violate liberty.
For example:
Humans have always had the natural right to arm themselves. This wasn't even debated; it's just how it is, always has been, and always will be. Nothing can change it.
Then someone decided to use politics to stop people from arming themselves, and punish those who didn't cooperate with this violation.
Some of those who resist being violated use politics in an attempt to fight back, but this is just playing the bullies' game-- by the rules the bullies set up and enforce. It might get you a temporary reprieve, but in the long run, it's a losing strategy.
Standing up for your liberty, by living it, isn't political. But trying to stop people from living their liberty is.
Anti-gun activists and anti-knife activists (or their supporters) are being political.
Gun rights (and knife rights activists)-- especially those simply ignoring the "laws" and doing what they have a natural human right to do-- aren't.
You have no obligation to tolerate those trying to stop you from doing what you have a right to do. You have no obligation to play politics in self-defense. Why march or v*te for your rights? Just exercise them.

Have you read Ben Stone's book on Sedition, Subversion and Sabotage? He discusses among other things the nature of civil disobedience as a political tool versus protests to raise public awareness versus just living free without permission.
I haven't. Sounds like another I need to add to the list. Thanks!
One of the things on my to-do list is a complete re-edit of his book to suit my own Grammar Nazi impulses. It has far fewer failings than most self-published books, though. I just want something as important to be as good as possible.
I downloaded the PDF to my Kindle.
Yes sir its not politics if we support for this,any way awesome blog post sir.
There has a connection between politics and liberty.
Thank for sharing the best information @dullhawk
Liberty is weak there, where has some bad politicians.
Thanks for another update and another share your political news and info.
Liberty is the image of politics. It's true if we discuss about any nation's liberty then we can see that when peoples rise their hand for libery then at least one political party support liberty.
your writing is very good.thanks for sharing for liberty.
Liberty cannot be established without politics , nor politics without faith. Government expands, liberty contracts.
Liberty, in the political sense, cannot exist prior to state. Liberty, as a political concept, is based on a system of rights. It is the state which guarantees rights. It is, therefore, impossible to conceive of any liberty in the 'state of nature'. This is a misconception of liberty.
"rights" given by states are privileges. Natural rights supersede "states". Even if you argue that privileges are rights, tribes have their own rules, so do convicts and all without a state to enforce or create them.
How do you define liberty?
Where do you believe rights come from?
The State is not the source of rights, and governments require a pre-existing productive society to plunder.
This is so cool sir really loved it such an awareness blog post from you have a great day sir.
Yes, you are right.
Thanks for sharing.
