Terror requires the deliberate targeting of non-combatants as a means of altering policy. Sovereignty requires one’s government control non-state actors. Democracy requires one’s people control one’s government such that it controls non-state actors, such that it does not break the westphalian peace, nor the postwar peace. Justice visited upon the muslims to contain them just as the west tried to contain the communists in the twentieth century and the Islamic empires, for it’s thousand years of warfare against the west. And so apparently we must unify china, india, russia, and america to contain islam until it respects the peaces of westphalia (containing non state actors), and of the postwar consensus (maintian borders, develop human rights, and develop consumer economies). No people yet has transformed from the medieval to the modern without a reformation, and some sort of civil war. Islam is the only backward civilization remaining. The problem it faces, and south america faces, is that the demographics throughout the muslim world make a rational secular state nearly impossible without the promise of ever-expanding growth under fiat money capitalism.

Terror, Progress, and Islam

Libertarians are Beggars for Liberty
Libertarians are beggars for liberty. I’ve stopped using the term liberty. I’m not a beggar, or a free rider. I understand now that the only method of obtaining liberty is permission, and the only means of obtaining the equivalent without permission is sovereignty; and that sovereignty in fact can only be brought into existence by sovereign peers through reciprocal insurance: a militia. Aristocracy creates sovereignty by force. Because it is undesirable by the masses of parasites who either prefer parasitism or are a dead weight upon the rest of us.

The Failure of Liberalism Was Failing to Understand It.
Empirically speaking, women voting without separate houses for men and women, has been the failing of liberalism. The monarchy (state), nobility (regions), commons (businessmen), could have been expanded to the proletarian( working classes ) and the homemaker(women), and we could have continued the anglo saxon tradition of using houses to form a market between the classes. Democracy has failed worldwide because women have narrower interests and vote more consistently in blocks, and by destroying the family women have destroyed western civilization: our central unit of production of generations, production of norms and traditions, production of commons, and production of goods and services. It’s just empirical. Look at the voting history. There would never have been anything ‘left’ in this country nor its decline had women had their own house.

Better People Are Simply Cheaper
For people who desire sovereignty, sovereigns are cheaper than citizens, citizens cheaper than freemen, freemen cheaper than serfs, serfs cheaper than slaves, and slaves cheaper than enemies.

Reproductive Strategies and Markets
by John Dow A polity can only generate the sovereign power necessary to establish and defend itself via competitiveness in the violence market. Production (Brotherly) and Reproduction (Motherly) Strategies obviously require cultivation to successfully compete fundamentally in intergroup Violence (Fatherly). Without production you lack weapons technology and food and shelter for your soldiers, without reproduction you lack soldiers. However, through the institutions of property and marriage, individuals compete individually within the polity with one another for individual success. In the institution of military, individuals must cooperate for the good of the group, they sacrifice their individual potential cost to accrue benefits to group fitness. Fundamentally, participation in intergroup violence brings the individual’s interests in allignment with the group’s interests.
Individuals who merely compete in the markets for production and reproduction lack this grounding, they compete with the other members of their polity on behalf of themselves, not each other, hence they require regulation through the institutions of property and marriage to limit negative externalities from their behaviour. If given power, these people will rationally vote in their self-interest to transfer wealth to themselves, not the collective interest to transfer wealth to their group.
