I. LIBERTARIAN AND PROPERTARIAN ETHICS

Ethics is the study of right ACTION. Right ‘belief’ is only a matter for ethics, when wrong ‘belief’ may impede or encourage ethical action. And as such, ostracizing or punishing those with wrong ‘belief’ is necessary self defense.

Aristotelian Action, modernized with Praxeology, won’t tell you much without Austrian Opportunity costs and Libertarian Property. Without property and opportunity costs, the multitude of transfers involved in any action are invisible, and as invisible, they are unmeasurable.

As invisible and unmeasurable, they are vehicles for organized involuntary transfer. And without the Propertarian requirement of operational language, symmetry and warranty, it’s impossible to

And Rothbard’s failure to account for these immoralities is why libertarian ethics have been (rightfully) rejected by the majority.

And given that libertarian ETHICS have been rejected (rightfully) all the visionary libertarian solutions to the problems of cooperation in politics and on commons have also been rejected as being founded on immoral principles.

II. LIBERTARIAN REFORMATION

We must clean libertarianism of Rothbard’s Ghetto Ethics. Return liberty to the ethics of the high trust society. To Aristocracy. And to a popular if not majority preference.

The Prohibition of Involuntary Transfer

1) Prohibition on the accumulation of power

(anarchy, private government, private property, constitution.)

2) Prohibition on ‘incalculable’ corporation

(competition, partnership, and shareholdership)

3) Prohibition on involuntary transfers

(externality, symmetry, warranty, operationality, calculability)

FWIW: Philosophers hold on to nonsense metaphysics, the way pre-moderns hold onto mysticism.

‘Cause they’re the same. The philosophy of action isn’t complicated.
