THE FINAL WORD ON NAP/ISV, NAP/DP
(the end of the libertine as useful idiot)
Rothbardianism is an attempt to restore eastern european financial predation on the middle, working and lower classes.
The NAP is, like most Cosmopolitan arguments – whether socialist, libertine, or neo-conservative – is a half truth (informationally incomplete) intentionally designed to require you to substitute your own information thus appealing to our ‘pathological altruism’. So the purpose is to get us to invest or risk, so that we can lose our investment yet blame ourselves.
The Logic of the Half Truth isn’t difficult. One must have something to aggress against. So the statement NAP is a half truth.
The ongoing debate in cosmopolitan libertinism is reducible to defining the scope of property that we insure one another from, and which we agree to retaliate for, aggression against.
The test is Blackmail. Blackmail constitutes a voluntary exchange, but it incentivizes retaliation. This is an empirical statement (an is) not theoretical statement (should).
The purpose of property rights (mutual insurance of each other’s property) is to incentivize cooperation and disincentivize retaliation in furtherance of productivity.
So rothbard proposes NAP/IVP or “ghetto” property rights. Meaning “if I can get away with a deal then it was moral”, whereas “aristocratic” NAP/Demonstrated Property or western property rights by contrast “if one will not retaliate against me for this action then it was moral”.
This is why westerners created a high trust polity where none did, and why the jews were eventually outcast (or murdered) wherever they settled.
(This is also the source of the ‘lie’ of Crusoe’s island which is little more than an idealized ghetto: the sea functioning as the walls of the ghetto. Yet man evolved without such walls – and having to build a common defense to erect them, not by the gift of natural walls provided by the sea, or gift of unnatural walls provided by the aristocracy who constructed the cities.)
All libertinism, all rothbardianism, is an insidious lie as great as marxism, neo conservatism, christianity, judaism, islam, and all other great lies. The purpose of this lie is to destroy our ability to construct commons, including our most important commons: trust and truth telling.
Libertinism was designed to morally license lying and cheating. To restore the method by which the ghetto preyed upon the lower classes and to apply it to those same individuals. And well intentioned ‘useful idiots’ bought into Rothbardianism just as happily as well intentioned idiots bought into marxism-socialism-neo-puritanism-postmodernism and neo-conservatism.
We all criticize one another without grasping that we have all been fooled. All baited. All deceived. Just as we were by christianity.
The only source of liberty is our reciprocal warranty under pain of death that we will use violence to prevent the imposition of costs upon one another’s property, and will retaliate against the imposition of costs on one another’s property, regardless of cost.
Roads are not the problem that we must solve. The problem is the creation of property rights in sufficient scope that we eliminate demand for the state as a preventer of theft, a prosecutor of theft, and an insurer against theft by all means possible.
Rothbard is no better than boaz, marx, freud, keynes, or Strauss. He was just another cosmopolitan liar creating a great deceit with which to undermine our high trust civilization – the only high trust civilization ever to exist.
There is no shame in having been fooled and playing the part of a useful idiot.
But there is shame in seeking to defend a great lie in order to avoid admitting that one has been duped into playing the part of a useful idiot.
