    4) Trump is an ally of the alt right simply because he is pursuing a strategy of nationalism and the restoration of the balance of powers instead of the single superpower of America that is too expensive for Americans to continue paying for.

    3) the movement is merely a cyclical return to nationalism in the face of immigration – first Hispanic since hispanics have one to one replacement of whites, but secondly and more emphatically, muslim immigration which we perceive as even more hostile than jewish.

    1) The correct framing would be that the current generation of thinkers has adopted the marxist techniques (ridicule, shaming, rallying) simply by being exposed to them for decades.
    2) The movement was made possible by a)end of socialism, b) genetics, c) cog sci (d)immigration.

  • Universal Suffrage Is Incompatible with Freedom

    by Steve Pender The founders accepted democracy only because they had set what they thought were sufficient restrictions to prevent past problems of democracy. Only white (the same stock as the founders), male (those who bear the cost of land ownership/defense), landowners (skin in the game, proven interest in long-term settlement, majority of taxpayers) could vote in the American “democracy”. Universal suffrage is provably incompatible with long-term freedom since varying levels of skin in the game create voting arbitrage opportunities for the free-riding side (vote for something that benefits you, at the expense of others who pay higher cost).

    JOHN MARK ON MARKETING MARKET FASCISM AS THE NEXT STEP IN DEMOCRACY

    —“As we market/promote a new and improved governmental system with propertarian/natural law tenets etc, is it wiser to speak of it (market/promote/educate) as “a new form of democracy” (and explain the part about houses/markets etc), or to call it something else (because obviously full franchise democracy doesn’t work, and we don’t want people thinking it will be full franchise direct democracy).”— John Mark

    Well I think of it as market democracy rather than monopoly democracy and if we explain that it solves the problem of either side winning only the moral will agree and only the immoral disagree.

    And then we know who to exit from the polity: the immoral.
