    THE KHAN… AND PROFITING FROM RULE

    The Khan was planning to destroy the Chinese, sack the cities and kill the people. His advisors returned and explained how much wealth he would have if rather than killing and sacking, he taxed them instead.

    We tend to look at our competitors under democracy incorrectly. They are serfs if we choose to make them serfs. They are taxable if we choose to tax them. And to tax them richly we need only rule them as they cannot rule themselves.

    We have one purpose in this world as a minority – and that is to rule.

    Because we are the only people fit to rule.

  • What Living Figure Most Embodies The Ideal Of An American Conservative?

    Conservatism refers to a certain set of traditions most visible in Aristocratic egalitarian ethics, Anglo of Rule of Law under Natural and Common Law, and the family as both sacred and the primary unit of both reproduction and production.

  • What Are The First Things One Should Know In Political Theory?

    1. The first question of ethics is ‘Why don’t I kill you and take your stuff?’.
    2. The first question of politics is “Why don’t me and mine kill you and yours and take your stuff?”
    3. The first question of group evolutionary strategy is “How can we either kill them and take their stuff, or prevent them from killing us and taking our stuff?”
    4. The answer to all three questions is the same: “Because cooperating in a division of labor is productive and can continue to produce mutual returns while conflict is costly and and results only in net consumption. Over time those who cooperate have more numbers, are healthier, have better industry, technology, and warfare than those who don’t.
    5. So, how do we organize group evolutionary strategy, politics, ethics, production and reproduction, so that we can out-compete, or at least say at pace with, competitors, given the people, their abilities, the territory and its resources that are at our disposal?
    6. Answering this question requires facing a very unpleasant fact, that the problem we face is human capital (talents) and that every person at the bottom of the curve drastically reduces the effectiveness of every person at the middle and top of the curve. In other words, it matters more that you don’t have impulsive, aggressive, idiots than it does that you have calm geniuses. So by and large nations in colder climates were more successful at killing off the undesirables through winters and starvation, than those in the warmer climates.
    7. So we see many different group evolutionary strategies dependent upon human capital, territory, and resources.  The most obvious are
    • the hierarchical and authoritarian irrigated flood-river valleys
    • the aggressive tribal steppe and desert regions
    • the egalitarian forest and river regions.
    • the equalitarian polar peoples
    • Each of these main groups produce different political systems in order to make use of the territory and means of production available to them.  Those that do not make good use of territory and means are displaced, conquered, or exterminated by those that do.
    • All groups require:
      • A method of organizing reproduction (usually marriage)
      • A method of organizing production (an economy)
      • A method of organizing norms (usually religion/education)
      • A method of producing commons (government)
      • A method of holding territory (army)
    • There are two economic poles available and all make use of one part of the spectrum or another, and all economies resulting in some variant on the mixed economy:
      • Propertarian / Libertarian / Capitalist / High Trust / High Innovation – Why? No corruption in theory.  Incentives work. But no competitive commons are produced, so it doesn’t work.
      • Mixed Economy of Consumer capitalism with some authoritarian commons production. Incentives work and commons possible.
      • Authoritarian / Totalitarian / Socialist / Low Trust / Low Innovation – Why? high corruption, no incentives, and it doesn’t work.
    • All governments are corrupt but if a people are successful at implementing rule of law it is possible to protect the economy using the courts from excessive interference by the government monopoly.
    • The method of deciding  ( making excuses for ) which commons is produced rather than some other commons is a matter of local dispute. But it is actually a question of competition with other states, and it is only very wealthy states that choose luxuries rather than necessities.
    • That is about all there is to political theory.

  • The Ukrainian Revolution

    [C]ONTRARY TO THE WORDS OF USEFUL IDIOTS IN THE WEST 1) The revolution was financed by local oligarchs not americans, because the president got greedy and threatened the other oligarchical clans. The American state department supports all people’s economic prosperity and economic development because this leads to peace, wealth, and governments hat focus on internal consumption not external expansion. 2) The talent left Ukraine and still does and the oligarchical families are really not very different from the Corleone’s except they’re steppe people and that’s worse. All that remains are the offspring of farmers, the people who are at the bottom, and the gangsters that run the country. 3) American involvement in the revolution here in Ukraine was largely an attempt to prevent bloodshed, as that would ‘look bad’. The reason the revolution is unsuccessful is america’s FAULT because if the right had actually killed a few dozen politicians they would have sufficient fear that they’d reform the bureaucracy. America HINDERED the revolution. 4) Reforming the bureaucracy is difficult because all of its members are now late middle age people who grew up under the soviet government. These people are a cancer that needs to be removed. To remove these people requires an act of ‘lustration’ (cleansing). 5) The government that matters: i) The finance and treasury bureaucrats. ii) Judges, Clerks, Bailiffs, Sheriffs. iii) Police, Fire, Emergency, Healthcare iiii) Water, sewer, power, gas, roads. iiiii) Teachers and Professors iiiiii) The military. Thats it. 6) The only body of people that can be called upon to defeat corruption are the young, and they will indeed force the change. It might require that we hire three two young people for every position currently held, but at least we could be fairly comfortable that they would have Ukraine’s interests at heart. 7) The problem with the young is that they cannot take over the jobs of finance, treasury, judges, nor the senior roles in infrastructure. They just lack the skills. Bureaucracy takes little if any skill. But calculation does. These people must be brought in from Poland, the USA and Canada. 8) The problem for with making the change is that you must pay these people enough money and Ukraine is too poor. 9) Ukraine is too poor because it lacks credit for risk taking, and land is controlled by oligarchs and the army. 80%of land is owned by the government and sold for agricultural purposes. Housing is too expensive because it’s corrupt. Without land there is no way to create leverage for borrowing. 10) Ukraine needs lustration, particularly of the judiciary, and for it to be replaced by foreign Judges each of whom has multiple young assistants on every case using the apprentice method. Ukraine needs Right Sector volunteers who have risked their lives for their country to fulfill the jobs of sheriffs, working in teams of fives, and to enforce the orders of the courts whenever they apply to members of the state. Ukraine needs a single (blockchain) totally transparent property registry. Ukraine needs young people to create an investigation department that uses the ‘secret shopper’ method to try to bribe. Ukraine needs three foreign banks staffed by foreign people, to administer all government payments. Ukraine is either a nation of Ukrainians struggling for a better life, or a prison in which the people are slaves. It is one or the other. Right now it is the latter.
