Click here to review the Constitution for the Sovereign States of Atlantis
The Enlightenment principles upon which Romantic-Capitalism and the Constitution for the Sovereign States of Atlantis are built hold -

a. That existence, reality, the external world is what it is independent of human consciousness - independent of anyone's knowledge, judgment, faith, beliefs, feelings, hopes, wishes, or fears;

b. That the survival of the human race is due to the evolutionary development of the human brain and its capacity for deep visual focus, social intelligence, pattern recognition, and pattern mirroring;

c. That reason - the faculty that perceives, identifies, and integrates the material provided by human senses and tools - is fully competent to know the facts of reality;

d. That one's perception of the facts of reality must constitute the basis of their choices and actions - just as reason is one's only guide to knowledge, so it is their only guide to choosing their own values, achieving their own goals, and controlling their own existence;

e. That every human being is an end in themselves, not a means to the end of others;

f. That one must live for their own sake, with the achievement of their own rational self-interest and happiness as the moral purpose of their lives, neither sacrificing themselves to others, nor sacrificing others to themselves;

g. That the master skill needed for the achievement of any goal or outcome is one's ability to define and organize their life as it might be and ought to be;

h. That no one has the right to seek values from others by the initiation of force against the person or property of another;

i. That every individual has the absolute right to ownership of their own body, control of the material resources they have found and transformed, and the absolute right to exchange or give away the ownership of such titles to whoever is willing to exchange for them, or receive them;

j. That romantic love and sexual desire are the integrated response in mind and body to one's highest values expressed in the person of another;

k. That the aesthetic projection of an ideal man or woman is an erotic and heroic being of free will, with their own happiness as the moral purpose of their lives, productive achievement as their noblest activity, sex as an expression of their self-esteem, and reason as their only absolute;

l. That a rational, self-confident woman desires a man who is a hero, who strong enough to dominate her sexually and romantically, and a rational, self-confident man desire a woman who is a heroine and hero-worshiper (i.e., a woman of exacting standards, not to be conquered save by the men who are able to meet them), who is strong enough to be dominated by him;

m. That the voluntary and unregulated exchange of goods and services to the mutual benefit of the parties involved is the only system that allows men and women to deal with one another, not as victims and executioners, nor as masters and slaves, but as free and equal traders - the practical expression of reason being free trade;

n. That the only function of government is the task of protecting individual rights (i.e., the task of protecting people from physical force) - government should only act as the agent of an individual’s right to self-defense, and may use force only in retaliation, and only against those who initiate its use;

o. That the absence of these principles from the minds and actions of mankind is responsible for the present state of the world.
