—“Can you describe the difference between P and Bakunin anarchy. Just reading something and the description seemed very similar to P but seems to simply lack the formalism around reciprocity.—-

P is a method.

I use the P-method to explain all group strategies, religions, political systems, and moral intuitions.

I use P to recommend the optimum political system that has ever been formed – rule of law by natural law.

I dunno why you would pick Bakunin. This is Bakunin’s fantasy:

–“The liberty of man consists solely in this, that he obeys the laws of nature because he has himself recognized them as such, and not because they have been imposed upon him externally by any foreign will whatsoever, human or divine, collective or individual.”–Bakunin

What is true instead?

Man desires consumption, consumption is increased by opportunity, and opportunity is increased by liberty, but so is irresponsibility. And so is free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, immigration, conversion, conquest, and genocide.

The state evolved to incrementally suppress local parasitism decreasing local transaction costs, in exchange for paying taxes to pay the cost of decreasing local transaction costs. This made markets possible where only primitive trade previously existed.

Man is amoral by nature, and pragmatic. By the institution of parenting, acculturation, indoctrination, training, laws, restitution, punishment, and prevention we invest in his domestication.

Man develops theology, philosophy, ideologies, rationalizations, myths, fantasies, and various other forms of frauds, to attempt to obscure and justify his free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime.

In order to produce the suppression of free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime, requires a power law of institutions of prevention, investigation, dispute resolution, prosecution, restitution, punishment and prevention.

In order to produce a market requires a pareto distribution of assets, so that the organization of networks in an market can produce a complex division of labor and its returns without which the terms freedom and liberty have no meaning.

In order to produce a society that tolerates market competition and the suppression of free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime, requires the resulting distribution of rewards satisfy a marginal nash equilibrium.

Given three possible means of coercion: force-defense (Military-police, government), trade-boycott(commerce-law), and advocacy+insurance-undermining+ostracization(social,education,religion), elites will combine to use and misuse these skills in a competition.

Given that Man varies greatly from barely human to superhuman in physical, social, and intellectual ability, and sexual, social, economic, political, and military value, and given the power, pareto, and nash necessities of distributions, man will sort by value to others by his value in those markets – producing networks of competing and overlapping hierarchies that we call sexual, social, economic, and political class.

As such, rule of law and the independent judiciary provide a market for the suppression of not only individuals and groups of individuals, but elites in all three dimensions of elites, such that sovereignty, liberty and freedom are maintained DESPITE the presence of necessary hierarchies.

So I consider bakunin like all other idiots as immature, adolescent, vain and ignorant consequences of the industrial revolution and the disregard for the hierarchies in elites of all resulted, and the that these vain, ignorant, immature, adolescent minds gave fertile soil for the false promise of pseudosciences and sophisms of the anti european sense making, and anti-european marxism, neo-marxism, neo-conservatism, libertarianism, postmodernism, feminism, and hbd-denial of the foundations of western civlization: that we used markets in everything to defeat regression to the mean by suppressing the reproduction of those that lacked ability to compete in the markets in the service of others.

In other words, I view these well meaning fools as useful idiots in the destruction of western civlization.

Which is how I pretty much view everyone. 😉
