Again, there are NECESSARY functions of government.

( see http://www.propertarianism.com/glossary/#propertarian item (g) )

While the definition of property rights must, in the end, be homogenous across groups as individual property rights, there is no reason why we need a monopoly means of organizing people under those property rights. There is absolutely no material reason why we cannot have polycentric governments that vary from absolute surrender to minarchy.

Government, in the sense, that we need both a definition of property rights, and a means of common investment, as well as common insurance – and all organizations require leaders, even if they are purely judges, selected randomly by lot. (preferably so)

If you’re wandering around saying government is evil rather than bureaucracy and monopoly are evil you’re just polluting the intellectual pool.

The problem is monopoly, bureaucracy, and the sanction of various partial monopolies and rents by those in the state, to persist their control over the state.

The chinese philosophers could not, because of the asian family structure and existing hierarchy solve the problem of politics, like the Greeks solved the system of politics PRECISELY because they were not hierarchically solidified. Confucius and Lao Tzu failed. They directed the entire civilization to operate as an extended family. (Unfortunately, Fukuyama is wrong. As usual. But at least he’s informative.)

We libertarians are making a similar mistake. ROTHBARD FAILED, and so did his ethics. Hoppe succeeded (by admittedly strange means) and solve the problem of politics at scale for us. But Rothbard failed, either by intent, or by cultural influence, or by lack of understanding. But he failed. And he continues to cause us to fail at securing our liberty.

While I would agree that violence was necessary to transform barbarians into city and farm dwellers, I would also argue that such a monopoly was necessary to conduct that transformation.

But now we need a DIFFERENT ORGANIZATION. The barbarians are converted. The problem is not how to convert barbarians. THe problem is how to prevent FEMALES from returning us to barbarism via the ballot box.

Socialism was murderous. But the threat to human prosperity is the assumption that women have the right to reproduce at the expense of others, or that all reproduction is of necessity ‘good’.

Government is not the enemy. Monopoly is. Socialism is not a problem any longer. But feminism and the totalitarian humanism that is an expression of feminine communism are.
