“I AM WILLING TO LET YOU HAVE YOUR MORAL CODE, AS LONG AS YOU LET ME HAVE MY MORAL CODE”

But the only way that is physically or logically possible is if we respect each other’s property rights.

This is the genius of property rights as a social order compared to majority rule government as a social order.

Property rights make all more complex moral codes possible. Without them no cooperation between peoples with different moral codes is possible.

This is why democratic government cannot survive heterogeneity – ‘diversity’. People in any democratic body politic must have the same status signals, family structures, metaphysical value judgements, and even similar economic interests.

Otherwise, majority rules is a means of destroying the market for cooperation inside the body politic, and by consequence, outside the body politic as well.

Democratic government in any heterogeneous polity must and will lead to economic decay.
