Anarchism is the Ideology of Predatory Separatists who wish to deprive the people of protection from parasites and predators – particularly from baiting into hazards.
I lived not far from Mises home in L’viv. I walked by it a number of times a week, each time reflecting on the rails that led from the street to the inside for what must have been coal carts or other heavy loads.
Today the people of Ukraine are still the victims of oligarchs. There are two I know personally, at least forty I know of, but numbers range up to eighty. In the past they were the victim of nobility and oligarchs.
There are three methods of coercion. Warlords exemplify the force point of the triangle, priests the seduction point of the triangle, and lenders and traders the exploitation point of the triangle.
The reason Rothbard and Mises contributed to what the Austrians called Jewish Economics, is that it was from lived experience and historical tradition. The ethics of the Pale of Settlement. The ethics of artful Organized Crime.
Ukraine is and was a world of organized crime, and the people suffered exploitation of the population through extractive and abusive credit, gambling, selling alcohol for credit, and the usual traditions others have explained in further detail that I have.
The germanic tradition whether Continental, Scandinavian, or British, certainly from the beginning of manorialism, was a competition between the nobility and aristocracy for wealth by competitive productivity. And the high trust commons of the Europeans developed because these exploitations were largely regulated or prohibited whenever possible. Read a few books on the economy of Europe in the middle ages and it’s not the dark story (other than the plague) the media advances. (There are few of them worth reading, unfortunately.)
So warlords, superstitious ignorance-producing religious priesthoods, or organized crime whether purely criminal or under the pretense of commercial volition are all means by which people have suffered the abuses of those who can organize exploitation of producers.
Whether American Credentialists, French Authoritarians, Putin’s Russia, Jewish Ukraine, any of the middle eastern despots, the tyranny of the pre-Muslim Arab tribal leaders, and even the seemingly merciful thousands of years of stagnation of the Egyptians – only one people has discovered the highest cost civilization that defeated the rest by pure evolutionary velocity in the bronze, iron, steel, and industrial ages: the Europeans.
Why? Because of citizenship by reciprocal insurance by force of arms of individual sovereignty in demonstrated interest, reciprocity in display word and deed, including truth before face, commons before self, polity before self, regardless of cost, prohibiting all authority, limiting us to truthful debate, the duel, or adversarial competition before our peers, and markets in association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, polities and war.
There is no alternative to this insurance. There is no alternative to the priority of the production of non-consumable commons that decreases the cost of daily life for all. It cannot be done. And the attempt to import the Jewish ethics of the pale under the pretense it’s an alternative is simply another feminine bit of denial, wishful thinking, of childish cowardly immature minds – it’s nothing more than the ethics of a separatist people seeking to profit from the commons without paying the high cost of those commons.
Europeans won the world by producing commons.
Private monetary velocity is a product of the production of commons. There is no alternative to a militia, the rule of law of the natural law of self-determination by sovereignty and reciprocity, and the devotion of proceeds to the production of sufficient commons that competition for talent, families, and the trade they produce and consume defeats that of competitors.
