“Why The Church Is A Republic Not A Theocracy” asserts the absolute and inalienable right of individuals to the products of their own creation, emphasizing that no one else can lay claim to another's work. It critiques systems that endorse common ownership or parasitism, positioning the Citizen Republic as grassroots, and citizen-controlled alternative grounded in the Principle of Subsidiarity. The citizen republic respects individual ownership and rejects top-down power structures, distinguishing itself from both theocracies and authoritarian regimes, and insists that true equality means the equal right to what we create. We all have a right to be paid for any work that we do and no right to be paid when no value has been created.
