If you respect life, limb, property, commons, norm, and law, you obtain the insurance of juridical defense: rule of law. If you produce income, pay taxes, you gain access to membership in the Jury. If you acquire property, you marry, and you have children, you gain access to membership in the house of common people. If you Own a business,employ > 50 people,or manage an enterprise, and employ > 1000 people, you gain access to membership in the H. of Commerce. If you govern a state you gain access to membership to the House of Lords (Territories). If you demonstrate none of these, you possess juridical defense, but no influence against your peers, since voting is violence.

Law
Nov 11, 2016 10:38pm Humans create commands, legislation, and regulations. Laws, both physical and natural (cooperation), we can only discover. We cannot any more create a law of cooperation (natural law) than we can a law of nature (physical laws). The only difference between physical laws and natural laws is that since we have memories, we can cooperate across time rather than be limited to the moment of the difference in potential. (That might be hard to catch without pondering a bit.)

The Evolution of Slaveries
THE EVOLUTION OF SLAVERY Slavery exists wherever exit, and return to subsistence, is practically impossible. Slavery: violence slave Serfdom: land slave Employee: wage slave Consumer: credit slave Citizen: tax slave The only freedom is food, water, and shelter, self-sufficiency, with participation in the market purely voluntary. And only commissions on transactions payment for the commons. Yet all of us must be paid for policing of the commons if we police it – dividends. With self-sufficiency and payment for commons we gain liberty. All else is slavery. Roughly speaking each person could take 10k in dividends at present. Between self-sufficiency and 10k in dividends on our continuous investment in the commons, we would possess liberty. Otherwise we’re just farmed.

NONE OF US IS EQUAL (second draft) We are unequal. We grant each other the prete
NONE OF US IS EQUAL
(second draft)
We are unequal. We grant each other the pretense of equality in order to discover the truth, through discourse and debate, that is free of error, bias, suggestion, obscurantism, and deceit. We grant each other equality under the law to assist one another in cooperating productively and without conflict and retaliation across our various stations and abilities. We grant each other equal access to the market, by the equality of money and prices, because we all buy entry into the market by forgoing opportunities for violence, theft, and fraud, despite our differences in wealth. It is through these three equalities of opportunity that we cooperate despite our inequalities of interest, ability, value to one another, and wealth. But we are in no way equal.

Deconflating Slavery
DECONFLATING THE PEJORATIVE: ‘SLAVERY’ My criticism is of chattel slavery, and this is an other example of the problem of conflation and ideal types instead of spectra. – Hard Labor Slavery (‘the mines’ etc – throw them away.) – Chattel Slavery (involuntary, labor, parasitism) – Punishment Slavery (prisoners) – Debt Slavery (Bonded [restitution]) – Civic Slavery (The Military [non-substitutable payment]) – Indentured Servitude (Contracted room, board, care) – Temporary Dependency (children, the ill, room board, care) – Permanent Dependency (pets, animals, ai’s) – Possessions (objects and non-sentient life) I don’t see why we can’t distinguish between each of these, separating the difference between parasitism, punishment, restitution, payment(military service), compensation, and dependency.
I have no problem with voluntary servitude, and I think we should restore and expand it. It’s work for the military for thousands of years, and it worked for private and small businesses for thousands as well. plenty of people would sign up for guaranteed employment in exchange for room, board, and small spending money. for all intents and purposes, some factories in china operate on this principle. The form of servitude I feel we miss the most are the Regiments that need civic emergency and militia equivalents, and the Monasteries/Nunneries, that need secular intellectual, and labor, equivalents.

Definitions: Aristocracy vs Oligarchy
Q&A: ARISTOCRACY VS OLIGARCHY —“What are the features that distinguish aristocracy and oligarchy?”— William Butchman An aristocracy preserves a judge of last resort (monarch). You can kill a monarch and change the judge of last resort. It is much harder to kill an oligarchy (group). It is much harder to kill a government (larger group) it is much harder to kill a bureaucracy ( larger group ) An oligarchy subverts the market (rule of law) by use of: – Force – Gossip – Capital The defense against an oligarchy is a judiciary that rules by productive fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer limited to productive externalities. Most oligarchies persist only because they violate one or more of the provisions of natural law. Most commonly: productivity. In other words competition in the market and prosecution in court are EQUALLY necessary methods of preserving sovereignty by the suppression of parasitism, and the demand for sovereign transfer, in a market for opportunities, rather than in a market for rents, where the market for opportunities is made possible by nothing more than an increase in population density and an increase in the suppression of parasitism.
