THE JUDICIOUS USE OF FEAR AND VIOLENCE
How do we prevent the rise of the corporate state over the interest of kin, tribe and nation? Fear. The purpose of kings is to deny people an alternative. It is not that kings are good. It is that no government is good. The only goods are the market for goods and services in which competition provides incentives to produce and consume; the market for commons in which prevention of privatization provides incentives to invest in long term returns; and the ostracization from both markets if one fails to consume, product and invest. The most moral use of violence is in the prevention of parasitism leaving man only productivity as a means of survival. An armed militia provides power-seekers fear. The sheriff and judiciary provide abusers with fear. The king is merely evidence that the militia, sheriff, and judiciary succeed in the use of fear. For it is the judicious use of fear that eliminates the need for judicious use of violence.
