Anti-Statism. Is that Correct? I Don”t Think So.
Oct 6, 2019, 7:23 AM Hmmm … This is an angle I haven’t worked on enough, which is disambiguating the state (assets and bureaucracy), government (leadership), authority (rule of law and market polity vs authority and directed polity). Because it’s not whether we have a state or government or authority but whether we have rule of law or arbitrary rule (Rule by discretion). Plato’s vision and Sparta’s vision were different only in details. Fundamentally, in both, the majority ‘unwashed’ needed rule. The church the same. The feudal fiefs the same (true). In the monarchies the people only needed order because the middle class had begun to evolve and commerce creates order by incentives thereby eliminating the need for intervention by rulers. The enlightenment sought a majority middle class where all of us were governed by incentives in the market. The industrial revolution tried to reverse it, under Marx putting labor in position of authority rather than the market, and the vast increase in the underclasses continued that expansion. So when we say we are anti-state, or anti-governmnet this isn’t really true. it’s that we need a state and need a government, sufficient to preserve the largest middle class (market participants) possible, with the optimum common possible. And the only way to do that is rule of law and eugenics. And eugenics requires either embodiment in law, or the unfettered consequences of the market. So embodiment in the law is preferable solution because it is a moral solution that trades non-reproduction, for subsidy.

The Conflict Between Democracy and Eugenics
Oct 6, 2019, 12:34 PM The First Cause of Western Decline is the conflict between Democracy and Eugenics caused by the industrial revolution. The enemy may Lie and Deny reality, but Western people will not face the truth themselves: we outpaced the rest because our civilization has been eugenic since its founding, and survived the middle ages despite the Church’s attempt to reverse that dysgenia through maximizing reproduction. Contractualism, Manorialism, Law, Hanging, Plagues, Winter, War, and the Reformation achieved what the church fought against, and what Women and the Left fight against today, and what the Left weaponizes against western civilization: dysgenia destroys what the west has made.

Return to Communism vs Naziism as The Basis of Argumentative Extremes
Oct 7, 2019, 10:28 AM by James Louis LaSalle As psychotically obsessed the Left is with racism, Nazis, and white supremacists, the Right should be just as obsessed with communism. To the point where we shouldn’t even acknowledge it when they say anything about racism, Nazis, or white supremacists. Ignore it completely. And don’t even be subtle about it. If a Leftist asks you if you’re a Nazi or some nonsense like that, don’t say a word about it; change the subject to the evils of communism immediately. “Are you a Nazi?” “Did you know communism was responsible for over 100 million deaths in the 20th century?” “What? I asked you if you were a Nazi. Answer the question!” “You know, the concept of a “means of production” is a total reification fallacy. It’s the human mind that decides whether things have value or not. That’s why communism is always communal ownership of the means of production in theory and state ownership of human beings in practice. Because human beings ARE the means of production.” Leftist: Why do you keep talking about communism? I’m trying to talk to you about the evils of Nazism! Rightist: Why don’t you want to talk about the evils of communism? Are you a communist? Do you support communism? Play their game against them, and be better at it. There have been many comments from the usual quarters about the supposed illegitimacy of putting the “alt right” and “antifa” on “the same moral plane.” But mostly, Alt-right and Antifa ARE on the same moral plane, the moral plane where you use force to counter an existential threat to you and to your group. The main difference is a factual one, not a moral one, in that alt-right represents normalcy to excellence, while Antifa represents defective and inferior people. The former can, in principle, be victorious, while the latter can never be. Even if they, Antifa, communists, degenerates, win, they still lose, because it is not merely superior people against whom they rebel, but the reality of their own inadequacy; which ever remains. Once they destroy their betters, antifa will have no one left to parasitize, and they, too, shall perish. Their grasping, covetous, and insatiable appetites are just as real as their inability to satisfy them without seeking discounts at the expense of others, more capable. But they have no choice but to try, because meritocracy, accountability, and responsibility in the face of abler competitors would prove just as lethal to them as devouring those finally and completely. Without knowing it, without being able to moderate themselves, they are actually trying to straddle these extremes to the only evolutionary strategy that can sustain them, parasitism that is not severe enough to kill their only food source. But don’t expect them to realize that. And there is nothing to lose by simply wiping them out, as one would any other species of pest. (There is a moral difference between parasites and producers.)
