LIBERTARIANS FIGHT THE LAST WAR, OR THE ONE BEFORE THAT MAYBE. I’M PLANNING FOR THE NEXT ONE.

(reposted and edited) (thanks to Juan Sebastian Ortiz for the inspiration.)

Rather than make plans on how to manipulate democracies, I am more in line with global theorists who suggest that the nation state, which was invented in response to Napoleon’s combination of state credit and total war, will be brought down by the fragility of our modern systems (which are very fragile), the low cost of interrupting or damaging those systems, the enormous economic impact of those system disruptions, the small numbers (and value of small numbers) needed to conduct interruptions of systems, the universal availability of communications previously only available to governments, the inability of states to either control those insurrections, or to violently suppress them, and the demand of the populace for respite from system shocks, by giving into demands.

It is this particular trend, not the polite democratic one, that I am constructing my logical arguments in support of. A moral code, a system of arguments, that gives moral authority to such actions, and the institutional model to replace the nation state with.

I want to construct the program for the establishment and organization of private governments and the restitution of the militia and the aristocracy from whence our freedoms came. Because it is only that model under which we hold freedom of our choosing, rather than by the mere permissions of others.

Libertarians like horsemen in an age of machines, are still fighting the war before the last war. I’m making plans for the next one.

Sure, I’m working a little ahead of the curve, but my health is not in my favor.
