“Libertarian Moral Diversity Denialism”
Increases in wealth under manorialism and the forcible ban on intermarriage, forced a shift from kindreds to lineages, which in turn forced a shift towards nuclear families. As a side effect there was a delay in marriage and reproduction, more assortive mating (romance), the extension of the kin ethic to all potential family members.
Property is inseparable from the nuclear family. Because property gives males control over breeding. You can add women to the economy. You either can add them to the voting pool, OR you can undermine the nuclear family and assortive mating, through child support, alimony, and redistribution. But you can’t do both and keep property rights. Property is the antithesis of the female reproductive strategy. The feminists are right, which is why the feminists and the socialists are allies. Or rather, the feminists give the socialists ethical air cover.
But if women can vote to control their reproduction and at the same time control the productivity of males through political expropriation, then you will NEVER EVER have the institution of private property. EVER.
Property was created by the application of organized violence. It put reproduction in control of the male. And eventually led to eugenic reproduction.
If there is anything that puts a stake in the heart of libertarian hyper-individualism (moral diversity denial) then that’s it.
