    THREE OPTIONS FOR GOVERNMENT FREE OF CORRUPTION

    The only way to avoid the principle-agent problem in politics is simply NOT to use agents. In order to avoid using agents, we have three choices:

    1) Anarchic Contractual Government (no commons)

    2) Direct Democracy (auctions to fund proposals for commons)

    3) Demarchy / Lottocracy (randomly selected juries that judge policy proposals).

    THe problem of politics is not the production of commons. It’s politicians, bureaucracy, and the inability to secede.

    THEFT IS ANYTHING BUT LIBERTARIAN

    Freedom is evidently obtained and perpetuated at the point of a sword or the barrel of a gun.

    The cosmopolitan myth is that man desires to be free, and the state is his oppressor.

    And true, some of us do desire freedom.

    But the vast majority prefer to free ride and rent seek to their maximum ability, and happily confuse freedom with the possibility of increases in consumption.

    Aristocracy requires property; property requires liberty; liberty requires violence.

    Attempts to obtain liberty otherwise are both futile and all too obviously seeking to obtain liberty at a discount on the efforts of others: theft.

    And theft is anything but libertarian.

    Contractual? Voluntary? Aristocratic Egalitarianism ( Voluntary Contractualism?)

    Not able to get my arms around how to describe this particular evolutionary vector.

  • Aristocracy and Higher Tribalism (Instead of Democracy and Infighting.)

    [A]ristocracy can cooperate on behalf of our tribes, no matter what tribe we belong to. All aristocracy speaks the same language, and all of us can work to better our own tribes with the help of aristocrats from other tribes. We have no false allegiances. We have no political agendas. Our agenda is merely the advancement of the economic status of our tribes. Aristocracy under ‘higher tribalism’ is a very ‘human’ form of government. No ideologies are needed. No justification for and search for power over others is needed. All wee need is do to negotiate on behalf of our tribes large or small. Under democracy our differences are a source of conflict. Under aristocracy our differences are a source of opportunity for mutual benefit. If we are trapped in an agrarian society all that we can really do is improve the land, and fight over the land if we want greater wealth. But under industrial capitalism, we are not constrained by the productivity of our land, but by the productivity of our people. And the productivity of our people is determined by the productivity of our institutions in assisting the people in cooperating, by making possible the voluntary organization of production. I would much rather live in a world filled with many enterprising aristocrats feeding off the status given them by their tribes and families, than I would in a world of bureaucrats living off the status obtained by creating conflict using ideology. And I am pretty sure that no moral man can justify any other arrangement for any reason other than the selfish accumulation of power, and the power to oppress others to conform to his will. All aristocracy requires is the grant of property rights and the reciprocal guarantee of those rights – and a militia consisting of all able bodied men equally willing to guarantee those rights.
