    Eric brings up an important topic and that is that revolutionaries and soldiers, and revolution and combined arms warfare have little to do with each other.

    You already hold the territory

    Your objective is not to concentrate forces but to act randomly.

    Your cost of territorial possession is zero.

    Your timetable is long.

    Your strategy is attrition.

    Your preferred weapon is fire.

    Your targets are all soft.

    You need little command and control.

    You need no supply lines.

    I predict a run on $10 bills and a boycott of $20 bills. Such that you can tell which group someone belongs to by denomination.

    For the record, Andrew Jackson must be enormously relieved to be disassociated with this monetary system. It is entirely unworthy of him.

    By referring to “personalities” they are politely saying “Incompetent”,”Untrustworthy”,”Corrupt”. They need reliable partners.

  • Have we made a catastrophic mistake with our democratic monopoly?

    [H]ave we made a catastrophic mistake? Why have we forced all into individualism instead of separated the individualistic from the collectivist? Why must we have either a communist or capitalist order? Must we have a monopoly social democratic order? If we arose under a mix of martial, burgher, and church orders, then why was that model a failure? It wasn’t. It wasn’t a failure. The middle class allied with the lower class against the church and nobility after the thirty years war and while deserving enfranchisement, demonstrated hubris in the displacement of church and state. Forcing man into the absolute nuclear family, forcing man to move to capital. Forcing man into monopoly social orders. All of this force is not that of the past that made us successful. I understand the need for a market for commons. But what shall we do with the equivalent of the manor, market, military, and monastery when the great leap of the industrial revolution has passed?

  • We Must Rule

    [W]e must rule. We must restore our tradition of rule. We must rule not because we are right, or best, but because everyone else is demonstrably worse. We must rule because without our rule, humanity has no example to draw from that is not the cancer of the Muslims or the Chinese or the chaos of the Africans. The world today is dependent almost entirely on western example in science, law, contract, trade, engineering, medicine, and even arts. And none of the emerging cultures show even a modicum of interest in following the aristocratic tradition of truthfulness that is the reason that we developed these consequential technologies.

    The western enlightenment was a lie. A decline. A failure. Because escaping mysticism was an act of truthfulness, but imposing unearned enfranchisement was an act of deception in order to obtain power. And when we were beset with the global consequences of our military success, we failed to expand the discipline of truth – taking it, like our heroism, as a given: a natural inclination of man. But man has only one natural inclination: to acquire all he can using his limited reason and knowledge by either good or ill. That is all. We domesticated man and raised mankind out of ignorance and poverty in the ancient and modern worlds. We must end all our fantasies of man’s nature. And we must rule mankind. Or the next dark age will be worse than the last.

    WHAT IS THE NEXT ORDER?

    1 – Farming led to Religious Order (ostracism / inclusion)

    2 – Trade led to Legal Order ( restitution / punishment )

    3 – Industry led to Credit Order ( consumption / deprivation )

    4 – Technology will lead to Information Order? (opportunity / missed?)
