—“All anarchism involves accepting costs (e.g. the cost of rampant immorality or non-contributing to commons) in the hopes that there will be benefits to compensate. Ancaps sometimes posit that increased productivity from economic liberty will help offset difficulties from collective action problems in providing defense or the cost of defending free riders, etc… But this is nonsense because ancaps can’t even generate economic productivity because they can’t maintain trust or control transaction costs because they don’t even attempt to constrain parasitism, fraud, or freeriding. So you end up paying costs to get, more costs…”—Ely Harman

THE EXPLANATION OF DEFLATIONARY GOVERNMENT

By Bill Joslin

If we deconflate commons management from law (remove rule by legislation – remove the use of the Monopoly on force backing legislation) – and return to pure Nomocracy, there would be no use for voting.

Judicial supremacy accountable to a a judge of last resort (governor general) and deflate legislation to nothing more than a management team held accountable to law. Here are the rules here is the budget, get to work.

Those management teams could be elected, but I don’t know why, they should be hired- literal employees. They don’t pass laws, they administer budgets and negotiate deals.

Because of conflation between church (social conformity – social conservation) and state (monarchs which enforced church law) our governments believe they are in the business of social engineering.

With conflation of commons management and law, our politicians sell the power of law (cartel protections) and the commons.

Combined with the presumed ‘right’ to social engineering, democracy functions as a means to manufacture consensus in selling these products… The tendency then is to engineer society toward support for these corruptions either toward consumption (the left) or exploitation (libertarians).

Culture and social change are natural forces – human nature expressed. Trying to control nature results in supressive and oppression. Culture changes constantly – let it, let nature takes its course but provide constraints.

Society and culture provides the enriched society needed for the development of the individual – the development of agency in a human.

By grounding law in creation and preservation of agency, rule of law provides the proper constraints to preserve the enriched environment.

It’s simply this.

***No imposition on autonomy in all forms.***

Impositions on culture and society which interfere with the development of agency of the polis would be against the law.

Undue constraints on culture (Puritanism) would constitute damages to those conditions and thus against the law.

Pomo assaults on reason and identity would pose damages against those conditions and thus against the law.

This allows optimal social adaptability and cohesion simultaneously.

***Property in toto does not capture this intangible – no imposition on agency in all its forms (property in toto included) does.***

One law – many resolutions – no need to write laws ever.

Patriotism (ownership incentive) becomes a necessary pillar in the conditions for developing agency in the polis as it stands as the appreciation and protection for the conditions as a whole.
