FASCISM, COMMUNISM, MONARCHY – ONLY ONE OF THEM IS ‘BAD’.
to: Robby Daniel Dyer
I don’t have the time this morning to correct you in detail,
BUT since you’re a smart enough fellow I’ll give you these points to ponder:
An unlimited market system allows endemic parasitism others and the commons by externality and this is why it never has or will exist – people won’t tolerate it.
When you say ‘authoritarian’ rule you mean DISCRETIONARY rule. However, rule of law removes discretion by empirical evolution.
Under rule of law, under natural law, (non-discretionary rule) a monarch merely functions as a judge of last resort, when the subject under consideration is not one of law but long term consequence.
A monarchy that collects administrative fees (sales taxes or land rent taxes) on the market it administers (polity), may spend that income however it prefers, and in history, it has been small, and they tend to spend it reasonably well. Because otherwise, as individuals, they are open to assassination – usually by their own family members for threatening their social status.
So while fascism requires discretionary rule, it remains a viable strategy for the conduct of Total War – which was the reason it was invented: to preserve napoleon’s invention of total war, and apply it to the industrial era.
While communism requires discretionary rule, it also lacks an incentive structure necessary for a voluntary organization of production, so it requires a vast directorial class.
So when you include monarchy in that list I am not sure what you are talking about. Because christian monarchy dependend eitehr on the common traditional law, or later natural law, or something in between – the restored roman law. No monarch had full license, and the church mandated that fact – and if one’s rule was ‘uninsured’ by the church it meant it was ‘for sale to all commers’ with license.
As far as I know ‘perfect government’ consists of natural law, independent judiciary (the west’s original priesthood), a military militia, a hereditary monarchy, a market for commons consisting of multiple houses, a market for the production of goods, services, and information, a market for reproduction (marriage), a market for association.
