http://www.propertarianism.com/”PROPERTARIANISM’S DEADLY SINS” (important)

Propertarianism captures the universal human moral intuition that prohibits involuntary transfer, and then presses all competition into the market for goods and services under the requirements of transparency and warranty so that competition is, while intuitively immoral to many, a system of incentives that produces a virtuous cycle of innovation, production and adaptation.

All rights in all moral systems are reducible to statements of property rights – assuming we take a descriptive definition of property not a proscriptive one.

VIRTUES

Property,

symmetry,

warranty,

internality,

operational language,

“calculability”,

contract,

natural law,

common law,

voluntary commons.

Still not done with the second list. I need to find a way to talk about calculability more accessibly.

PROPERTARIANISM IS THE RHETORICAL SOLUTION TO POLITICAL DISCOURSE

It’s what praxeology should have been. It’s what conservatives and libertarians need. It’s what progressives and progressive libertarians should fear. Because it’s true. Its explanatory power is universal, and independent of any moral code. And it is based upon testable empirical science. Humans vehemently reject involuntary transfers of property. They just differ on the distribution of ownership of property. And they differ because of their necessary and inalterable reproductive strategies.

COMMON GOODS

There can be no common good unless there are common interests. We can learn from the market that we can cooperate on means even if we have alternate ends. But democracy is a family model, and assumes de facto, that we have common or optimally common ends. When we do not, because reproductive and productive strategies are not longer sufficiently homogenous. Democracy can assist us in establishing priorities from common interests, but it cannot assist us in establishing goals between disparate and conflicting interests – such as those that we have under a division of knowledge and labor as extreme as under industrialism and information economies.

MONOPOLY

There is no reason for monopoly bureaucracy and monopoly government in a diverse heterogeneous population. In this environment democracy is simply a means of conquest of one or more groups by others.

It is possible to construct means of achieving the benefits of scale organizations in insurance, investment in the commons, and group bargaining over trade. And to do so without a monopoly.

Democratic and representative government is an artifact of the age of agrarianism and sail. It’s time for a reformation. We have to adapt government to our new diversity. And that means, small states, and governments that facilitate ANY cooperation, not just those that are approved by the majority. And that approach will make law making impossible, only contract negotiation. Because laws are local phenomenon, and contracts for the commons are not. They are merely cooperation at scale, on goods that cannot be produced by the market because free riding prohibits their construction.

More later. But that is the essence of Propertarianism in a few thousand words.
