CLASS LANGUAGE ARISTOCRACY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM

(important)

By Bill Joslin

Isn’t this a matter of class perspective?

Aristrocrat – Heorism-Sovereinty-oath/jury/rule of law/markets in everything

Upper middle class – Duty-oath/granted lands(property)/protection of lands (property rights)/participation in markets (liberty)

Lower Classes – Obedience/protection/production/liberty by permission

Something like that?

Libertarians (current fashion) are lower classes demanding liberty on moral grounds, libertarians of old (Nobility) demand of liberty on religious grounds… both pleading while ignoring the source of liberty?

In other words only after agency has been developed downward into the middle class can liberty be distributed downward through the classes – The same responsibility/freedom (poor words) relation I spoke of last week.

West Civ cultivates agency across scale by creating and preserving conditions required for agency to develop (protection, insurance, restitution against impositions upon agency from other actors – property being the external manifestation and thus measure of agency).

Only by demonstrating the responsibility to handle liberty (obedience/oath to sovereigns to not impose upon the property of others -rule of law) allows liberty be extended.

In this context – left and libertarians, by denying the legitimacy or even presence of sovereignty in the equation demonstrate the inability to maintain responsible use of liberty. The result being a decay of agency across the whole (lies, inability to hold a territory, inconsistent – incoherent application of law etc)

(Curt Doolittle — my point exactly. you can’t get liberty until you have a middle class and you don’t get a middle class until well after western civ has developed. BUT OMG I SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING WITH ACCOUNTING FOR AGENCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
