CENTRALIZE RENTS THEN EXTERMINATE THEM

Economic Rents create lost opportunities for exchange by granting a privilege that is incalculable instead of a return to the polity that is calculable (measurable). Majority rule creates lost opportunities to exchange rents and privileges which are incalculable, for returns to the polity that are calculable (measurable). Pooling of taxes rather than fees for services, the payments of debts, and returns on investments, create opportunities for rents. It is this system of rents that we systemically MUST construct under democracy. It is this system of rents, when replaced with requirement for operational calculability (operationalism) that allows the predatory and parasitic rent-seeking bureaucracy to exist. Conversely, with a universal requirement for operational calculability, universal standing for the prosecution of rent seeking, and the negotiation of contracts, rather than the competition for rents in order to obtain power necessary to issue laws (commands), it is impossible to seek rents. And even if rents are obtained, impossible to hold them. Yet this system does not require that we abandon the construction of commons. Only abandon the rentiers. So while it was necessary to centralize rents in order to extinguish family, guild and tribal rents, it is now equally necessary to necessary to ban rents permanently. All that is required is universal standing and operational calculability.
