—“The way I think about it is; only a pre-existing state is capable of preventing people from forming a new state, so libertarianism is less “doomed to fail” than it is a complete nonstarter.”—James Brittingham
MONARCHY = PRIVATE PROPERTY STATE
It’s also doomed to fail, since the balance of commons vs private consumption isn’t possible unless the monarchy owns the territory, collects rents on it, and produces commons from the rent, thereby making all parties, including the state, private property owners.
P-MONARCHY
In P I argue that a monarchy can only survive corporally in the age of gunpowder b/c it’s dependent upon the militia and military rather than an alliance of land-holding families of professional warriors – with the relationship between militia and monarchy governed by rule of law. I prefer income taxes over land taxes, and I prefer rental income be limited to the monarchy or ‘the church’, just as I prefer consumer credit be handled by the monarchy, and the privatization of all bureaucracy as customer service organizations – thus preventing rent-seeking across the spectrum. Unions then serve as insurers of relations, and insurers fulfill their functions of insurers of property, and families return to insurers of kin, and we, incrementally wipe all rent seeking off the map, driving all capital into longer and longer and larger and larger investment and return cycles. It is possible to restore responsibility and accountability because the economy will be purged of innumeracy and itself returned ot ‘accountability’. ie: no more financial and economic lies.
