Q&A: “HOW DOES THE REVOLUTION OCCUR IN EUROPE?”

(from a private message)

Q: “How does propertarianism fit into a world of increasing network technology without previous geographic constraints?”

Representatives are no longer necessary. We can instead return to the jury system, with jurors selected by lot. This makes corruption nearly impossible.

The rest is quite complicated, and I don’t know if I want to go into it here but (a) title registries are now possible, (b) liquidity can be directly distributed to individuals (citizens) circumventing distribution through the financial system, (c) proposals can published online and subject to public scrutiny, (d) “full accounting” is possible, (e) a prohibition on ‘pooling and laundering’ is possible, … well, a lot of transparency is possible. And that’s the most of it. We can eliminate discretion from government (commons).

Q: “You are American and a lot of what I interpret of the revolution appears to apply mostly, or be aimed at the American context. Have you written on how the revolution would differ in the various European countries? “

America is just the most likely first candidate, because as a large heterogeneous polity reaching the point of revolution, it’s easiest to occur there.

The value of propertarianism is the suppression of corruption and the increase in cooperation between the groups and classes creating an optimistic rather than pessimistic political economy. So I would expect that just as we need only ONE SECESSION to prove ‘smaller is better’, we need only ONE REVOLUTION to prove that market government is better.

So I suspect that europeans will (as usual) be laggards and adopt it later on out of pressure from the people.

What we will always be challenged with is the american desire for everyone to get ahead and that it’s heroic, and the european desire to keep everyone from getting ahead of them and that success is somehow immoral.

(The hardest part I see, is the burden it puts on economists who lie through a conspiracy of ignorance today. The burden on people who talk pseudoscientific nonsense in the academy will be life altering for the pseudoscientists in all the social sciences..)

Q:”Philosophically, in a vacuum your ideas seem universal but in application I’m sure the execution would differ nation to nation. I’m English. I don’t see or experience the spirit of revolution in the people here compared to what I sense in the US. The history of the nations explains the difference I am sure. Conservatives in the US aim to conserve the revolutionary defiance where as conservatives in the UK want to conserve order. (Basically counter revolutionary) day to day on the ground in the UK the only revolutionaries I meet are on the left where as in the US it is the reverse. Given this difference I have no idea how to network with these ideas in the UK/European context. Projecting from an American standpoint gets me blank faces.

Q: “Is the revolution in Europe political or violent?

Hopefully both. The right always does the fighting. I expect them to do it. As always. While the others free ride on the right’s risk. But I suspect europeans will find violence marginally unnecessary if it’s used elsewhere. The example will be enough.

Q: “What groups do you know of with whom I can network with in the UK or Europe.”

If I knew I wouldn’t say. My group feels we can do it alone. That’s probably not true. I don’t like single points of failure. My preference is to arm everyone with the moral justification for constitutional change, and to force it through violence and disruption if not. So I don’t care who gets it done or how it gets done, but we have to put an end to lies and pseudoscience and return western civilization to the path of excellence.

Q: “I appreciate it. Thanks”

I appreciate the opportunity to answer questions. 🙂 So thanks for asking.

Cheers.
