    Yeah. You know between rothbard, hoppe, and me, in three generations we pretty much solved the logic of social science. And that was how I wanted to present it. But there is so much abrahamic bullsh-t in the libertarian circles that you can’t disentangle the good from the bad.

    I consider myself an AnCap but loosely speaking. I am more interested in economics, particularly that of Hayek and Yeager. https://t.co/cxL2ITJClu

  • “What is your opinion on anarcho-capitalism?”

    [T]he origins of Rothbard’s anarcho-capitalism (a sophism) and Mises’ wing of Austrian economics( praxeology as a pseudoscience), are in the ethics Jews of the Pale and Russia – evasion of payment for the commons, and licensing of profit from baiting into hazard (usury, alcohol, prostitution, slave trading, gambling, organized crime), investing assets from criminal activity into rent-seeking (non productive parasitic returns) and specializing in use of the state against the people (tax collection, money changing), and slowly migrating into mixed criminal, black market, grey market, and open market industries – the same pattern we saw with other non-northern European immigrants in the states, this by this method the Jews by undermining and the Muslims by invasion and raiding seek to devolve the west into low trust tribalism, face before truth, ignorance, and poverty of the middle east. While Rothbardian ghetto ethics are positioned as in the favor of entrepreneurs this is false – it’s in the interest of rent-seekers (rent-seeking is an economic term referring to obtaining profits without contributing the production) – and this is against the interests of entrepreneurs, professionals, managers, clerical workers, craftsmen, laborers, mothers, children, the elderly, and the dependent due to defect or infirmary – all of whom benefit from the multipliers produced by commons over their ability to individually produce income – which s So Rothbardian Ghetto ethics, like Misesian Separatist exploitative economics, favor exploitation of the people through non violent means, including specialization of the technique of Baiting (seducing) into Hazard, where baiting into hazard consists in: “Using False Promise, Baiting Into Hazard, Advocated by Pilpul, Defended by Critique, Escaping Liability and Warranty, by Pretense of Plausible Deniability, Despite Deliberate Avoidance of Due Diligence, And Deliberate Evasion of Warranty, Deliberate Escape From Liability, Given the Asymmetry of Knowledge, the Presence of Malincentives by both Agent(s) and Victim(s) – And Pursued for the Purpose of Attention, Reward (profit), Influence(power), Undermining (Power), of the Trust and Cooperation, of a Population in Normal Distribution, Thereby Generating accelerating Cycles of Internal Conflict, Generating Demand for Authority to Control by the Hazard Maker.” And Mises entire economic theory is designed for the sole purpose of preserving rights to voluntary usury on one hand and rights to monetary appreciation on the other – both of which violate the western requirement for productivity (production of a common) in exchange for profits. So while we praise ourselves for individualism and democracy, neither of these is good or true – they are sophistries (lies). Instead, the long tradition of western ethics and morality consists in the use of rule of law of tort (forbidding trespass) as a system of measurement for the production of commons: reciprocal gain. It is not individualistic other than individually demonstrated interest (expense) is a means of suppression of inter-personal, inter-social, inter-political parasitism. We restate this rule of law of reciprocity as a positive just as all civilizations state their laws as positive aspirations. But these positive aspirations are merely inversions on negative prohibitions to provide positive moral incentive rather than negative moral threat. The unique advantage of western civilization is the production of commons, by the requirement for reciprocity in display, word (truth), and deed (action). This produces markets in everything, maximizes the production of commons(for all parties) producing meritocracy at the cost of limiting the reproduction of the unproductive underclasses, and thereby ensuring continuous improvement from genetics to institutions to technology to arts. This western ethic requires the inverse of the Semitic (Jewish Muslim) ethic. Our western ethic is in individual sovereignty upon demonstration of contribution to the commons – by oath against lying, stealing, and cowardice, and demonstrated in military contribution (a militia). Sovereignty leaves only reciprocity as a possible means of survival – where reciprocity consists of productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer of demonstrated interests, free of imposition of costs upon the demonstrated interests of others, by externality, where demonstrated interests consist of cost born by action or inaction. But Rothbard’s Ghetto (separatist) ethics and Mises’ Usurious (separatist) economics are presented to westerners by suggestion using its half-truth as equal to western sovereignty and reciprocity – for whom baiting into hazard is prohibited so deeply in our languages, thoughts, norms traditions, and ethics, we are not even conscious of its existence. And as we see in Ukraine today under the ‘oligarchs’ and in Russia, prior to Putin’s seizure of assets from the oligarchs, the societies are run by a small number of large organized crime families and the people suffer in poverty corruption from an absentee political and justice system under the oligarch’s control. We tend to put moral weight behind capitalism and democracy, but the exceptionalism of the western world in the ancient and modern worlds and the reason we survived the Christian attempt to destroy our civilization, is due to our rule of law, the empiricism we must practice to adjudicate differences under our rule of law, the application of that empiricism by externality to all human knowledge, and the markets that result from the suppression of ignorance, error, bias, fraud, free riding, privatization of commons, socialization of losses, corruption, immigration, and conversion. The function of a Germanic-Christian Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy, or a Germanic-Christian Republic under the European traditional rule of law of reciprocity that we know as property (tort, trespass), is to centralize rents seeking in the state as profits for producing property rights in our courts, in exchange for suppressing local transaction costs – and corruptions – of all kinds. This is how and why states produce economic velocity. Just as the Abrahamic religions used false promise of life after death to undermining the old world aristocracies, and through Judaism to undermine, Christianity to weaken, and Islam to conquer and destroy the ancient world, in the modern world we are faced with a mere transformation of the false promise of supernatural returns under deception by theological sophistry, to the false promise of supernormal returns under deception by pseudoscientific sophistry by marxism to undermine market cooperation between the classes, socialism to undermine market cooperation via the government, feminism to undermine market cooperation between the genders, and postmodernism to undermine truth and reciprocity as the means of resolving disputes and preventing parasitism in the market for Truth, knowledge, information, opportunity. Lies all lies. Nothing but lies.

    AGAINST ANARCHO CAPITALISM (LIBERTARIANISM)

    The origins of Rothbard’s anarcho capitalism (a sophism) and Mises’ wing of Austrian economics( praxeology as a pseudoscience), are in the ethics Jews of the Pale and Russia:

    (a) evasion of payment for the commons, and

    (b) licensing of profit from baiting into hazard (usury, alcohol, prostitution, slave trading, gambling, organized crime),

    (c) specializing in use of the state against the people (tax collection, money changing), and

    (d) investing assets from these criminal activities into rent-seeking (non productive parasitic returns) and

    (e) slowly migrating into mixed criminal, black market, grey market, and open market industries

    (f) undermining the state, the law, their knowledge, their traditions, their culture, their institutions, and their norms in order to convert the state from suppression of local rents to maximization of rents.

    SIMILAR IDEAS

    —“Hi Curt, have you read, “Speed & Politics” by Paul Virilio?”—Jame B

    No, because I find continental philosophical work sophomoric. But you will find the same argument in my work’s restructuring of economics as time, and therefore all we do is increase the rate of production in time through increasing division of labor and knowledge.

    So yes I say the same thing but as usual in anglo scientific rather than continental literary exposition.

    —“Fair. Nonetheless, some interesting bits and references along the lines of war / economy / speed / proletarian discussions, etc. … Virilio also comes to the same conclusion (Duchesne) that the history os the West is superior in terms of SPEED.”—

    Correct. The better word is ‘maneuver’ but yes. Or as I say “adaptive velocity”. We are not first we are fastest.
