THE GREAT DECEPTION : THE FALLACY OF AGGRESSION
Aggression is a deception. A convenient libertine ruse, to define property as that which is aggressable against, rather than property as that which people instinctually defend, as a violation of the terms of cooperation necessary for any species that does cooperate: free riding.
Aggression by definition legalizes unethical and immoral actions. As such it is, incontestably, the definition of LIBERTINISM , and NOT libertarianism.
I really can’t understand how we were misled by this fallacy for so long. Other than out of desperation and natural cognitive biases endemic to the autistic end of the spectrum.
Liberty is like truth: there is always more of it to be had, as we constantly innovate our means of cooperation. It’s not a state. It’s a process.
It is a lie, a deceptoin, a fraud, a moral crime against men who whish to be free, to perpetuate the fallacy that property is defined by aggression rather than transgression defined by property.
The means of transgression is immaterial.
The only rule we need is property.
The origin of property is the prevention of free riding.
Free riding, as in, the imposition of costs, the imposition of involutary transfer, or any other means other than the fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange of property.
Period.
Rothbard is dead. His ideas are dead. His movement is dead. And we should spit on his grave for the damage he has done.
Aristocratic Egalitarianism:
1) Property rights are obtained by reciprocal insurance of one anther’s property by the promise of violence to defend it.
2) Property is that which humans demonstrate as their property: that which they act to obtain by homesteading or voluntary exchange, with the expectation of possession.
3) Morality is objective and is prohibition on the transgression of the property of another : the necessary prohibition on free riding for any cooperative organism.
4) The law must sufficiently mirror known morality at any given time to suppress demand for an authority to suppress immoral actions, or the violence that results from immoral actions.
Welcome to aristocracy. We take all comers. But not libertines. They’re free riders. Immoral and unethical by definition.
