LIBERTY IS NOT A PACIFIST PURSUIT

I’m not sure but I suspect that the disconnect between liberty and violence was initiated FIRST by the enlightenment need to justify the taking of power from the landed nobility, and SECOND, by the need for women to justify obtaining the right to vote.

(Reposted from another comment that I’ve posted elsewhere:)

Liberty isnt’ ‘inherent’. Liberty is created by force and held by force. And no people without an armed militia to obtain and hold liberty by violence has even had liberty.

Property is ‘inherent’ in the sense that it’s necessary for complex economic production, and it’s ‘inherent’ in that the mind is organized to make use of it.

But liberty, which is defined as the universal prohibition on the involuntary transfer of property, is a construct made by and held by the will to use violence. Just as every other form of property is made by and held by the will to use violence.

Liberty, as in, private property, is unnatural to man. That’s why it doesn’t exist outside of a few cases in western history. Those who are unproductive will always make claims against the productive by claiming that their resources or their labors are a commons.

Liberty has nothing to do with pacifism. Liberty produces peace because conflict must be resolved in the market, rather than by fraud or violence.

Pacifist libertarianism is not only illogical, and counter to the evidence, but it’s suicidal.

Don’t buy into the christian nonsense in libertarian theory. Or rothbard’s jewish nonsense. Both are appeals by the week to a non-existant divinity.

Liberty is created by man. Liberty is a product of the application of violence. It always has been and it always will be.
