  • “Some of the West’s people are tolerant of Cosmopolitan Jewish and Anglo Puritan

    —“Some of the West’s people are tolerant of Cosmopolitan Jewish and Anglo Puritan lies because we have members of the other classes who are still fearful of the aristocratic class.

    We must drive a wedge between them and the cosmopolitans and puritans. And it seems like this global employment and immigration crisis provides us with just that opportunity.

    The separate interests of the cosmopolitans and the lower classes of the host nation are becoming apparent – and with it, the lower classes are rebelling.

    The only group I see still tolerant of and allied to the Cosmopolitans is the academic class, most of whom are Underclass or Puritans because they academy has filtered out by intent and design the Aristocracy. But these ‘Secular Priests of Falsehood’ are still too afraid and confused about how they will survive, where they’ll go, what they’ll do once the people rebel against it.

    Showing them a plan during a transition would be helpful in getting them to decouple from the anti-commons crowd, too.”—Josh Jeppson

    —“There is so much misunderstanding involved in libertarian equality-bashing. Equality was not conceived as a leveling process, but as an empowerment project — to let as many people as possible realize their potential. Equality as leveling is harshly criticized by the best minds of Social Democratic theory, such as Roberto Unger.”—Asgeir Theodor Johannesson

    —“Very percipient Mr. Johannesson.

    And what a great difference there was between this noble conception and its fruition.

    To bifurcate the two is useful. That of

    – empowerment of all to fulfill a specialist working within the community (a craft), and

    that of

    – dragging almost everyone down to a rung below the initial average in the name of ‘equality of outcome’, or even more perniciously (seemingly surprising to the unlettered) ‘equality of opportunity’.”—Andy Curzon

    THE PROBLEM OF LIBERTARIANISM’S INCOMPLETE SENTENCES AND MARXIST SUBSITUTION

    Equality is an incomplete sentence open to suggestion, which is why it is yet another example of the fraud of suggestion.

    Equality of adjudication of differences in disputes over property in toto? Well, that’s just natural law by which we eliminate all frictions in the hope of developing the highest velocity, and therefore lowest costs, for all.

    When someone says equality, ask them equality of what?

    Cheers

    —“Austrian economics is true insofar as it is descriptive about the nature of the business cycle, the incentives surrounding central banking etc. Propertarianism is descriptive in ALL social sciences not just economics. Thus we allow the calculation problem to be solved without moral loading, pseudo science, deceit or wish full thinking across disciplines. Which is why the Austrians are hated by fellow economists, and why we will be hated by everybody.”—Con Eli Khan

    ENSLAVEMENT OF ENEMIES IS PREFERABLE TO ENSLAVEMENT BY THEM.

    —“It is preferable to ME to enslave rather than to be enslaved. For some others, the reverse may be true, or may or may not be true, depending on circumstances. Therefore, slavery may be a mutually beneficial institution.

    However, even where this is not the case, if someone desires, and acts, to enslave me, then we are not cooperating, we are at war.

    And the preferences of my enemies in war carry no positive weight with me. It is MY preferences which I will act to realize, unless and until the enemy offers terms in good faith which make cooperation preferable.”—Eli Harman

    (The left is our enemy. Because they have made our women our enemy. And our women have voted to empower our enemies.)

    PROPERTARIANISM IS DESCRIPTIVE.

    (Eli Harman)

    —“Legalism is prescriptive. Propertarianism is descriptive. We can criticize institutions by showing them to be unsustainably parasitic, dysgenic, consumptive, degenerative, or uncompetitive (existentially impossible over the long term.) We can describe institutions that are not degenerative but are productive, progressive, durable, anti-fragile, competitive (existentially possible.)

    We do not prescribe the latter, we merely prefer them. We note that the former will always tend to fall and the latter to rise.”—Eli Harman

    POLITY FAILURE IS DETERMINISTIC

    (james agustus berens)

    —“Monopoly rule via majoritarian democracy:

    (1) monopoly rule makes market calculation impossible,

    (2) majoritarian democracy makes lying necessary.

    (1)+(2) makes polity failure deterministic.”

    —“This has been what Curt Doolittle has done so well in my opinion. As Michels’ Iron Law of Oligarchy demonstrates, a system ruled by the few is the inevitable consequence of a democratic system. Information imbalance, delegation, apathy; all contribute to the rise of a small few making decisions for the whole of the civilization. Curt, you’ve developing an entire philosophy defending this natural and logical progression, the defense of a rational and scientific process resulting in aristocracy, from those who would seek to prevent and pervert natural order in society. “— Patrick Quinlan

    “DEMOCRACY HAS IT’S OWN CALCULATION PROBLEM”

    (by Jeremie Makell)

    —“Natural law informs how we choose to cooperate to establish and maintain sovereignty. Some backwoods libertine can stake a plot of land and proclaim himself sovereign, but that’s not sovereignty, that’s just LARPing.

    Sovereignty requires that we cooperate to insure each others’ property from imposition. As we develop new technologies (bronze, iron, etc.) the complexity of our social institutions must evolve as well.

    For every new advancement also creates more opportunity for parasitism and externalities that increase overall transaction costs while reducing trust. The more rigorous your institutions the more adaptable you are to inter-generational change.

    This explains why China despite being an ancient civilization, had centuries of stagnation while the Europeans were innovators and drove forward industry.

    Each of the markets that Curt lists (rule, commons, reproduction, production, etc.) become more prevalent and necessary the further civilization advances.

    This is what I believe Curt means when he refers to DECIDABILITY: just as prices aid us in determining how to most efficiently buy and sell goods, the exchanges conducted voluntarily between markets under rule of law help us to determine how to most efficiently advance civilization.

    Democracy fails to adapt to change because it has its own calculation problem.”– Jeremie Makell
