(I like this one better as the Aristocratic Egalitarian Challenge)

“I do not need your permission to attack you.

I don’t seek your negotiation, approval, or your consent,

I seek your defeat. And I seek to defeat you completely.

If you fear your defeat you may seek to understand,

And if you come to understand, then you may pay restitution;

And you may end your immoral words and deeds.

But until you pay restitution, and end your immoral words and deeds,

I will defeat you by words.

if I cannot obtain your restitution with words.

Then I will defeat you with violence, and take it from you.

Because morality demands that I defeat you.”

I’ve been working on this for a bit. Not quite there yet.

It’s all sitting there in history to pick up and be converted into rational language. The problem is it’s wrapped in pseudo-religious poetry of the church. Economics is the language of morality. Even if economists use it to practice immorality.
