THE TIME FOR COOPERATION (EQUALITY OF SOVEREIGNTY) IS PAST
by Eli Harman
Peterson is trying, Doolittle is trying, every conservative and libertarian has BEEN trying, for the last 50 years, to leave the door open to cooperation, coexistence, and compromise with the left. When they finally and inevitably fail to secure a good faith acceptance for their offer, we will be there, to do the other things. But the offer is necessary, because the inevitable refusal and betrayal are necessary, in order to legitimize what must be done. It will not be said that we didn’t give them enough chances to save themselves. We will give them too many. We already have.
( Curt Doolittle: Yes. The time for hope is past. My intentions are to provide a compromise: full reciprocity, thereby treating ‘the others’ (those who lack agency) as foreigners, with whom we settle differences by market cooperation. However, by advocating ‘market fascism’, and aristocratic rule, I’m advocating taking a parental (paternal) responsibility for the ‘others’, in the kindest sense, a domestication of them for profit, out of self-defense, in the middle of the spectrum, and their extermination at the end of the spectrum. My strategy is to simply state this truthfully. And prepare for war. And choose any of the three options that will be available to us in a state of war. I do not fear them. And there are consequences to exterminating them – although I am not sure all are bad. But to domesticate them for profit as we have done for millennia is a position I have a hard time arguing with. Market slavery is still slavery.)
