READ HOPPE TO UNDERSTAND “WHY MONARCHY?”
by Scott De Warren
‘Democracy: The God that Failed’ by Hoppe is available online and to help expand people’s thinking on monarchies.
Also, it will help to know that the founding fathers originally intended to stay under the monarchy and that George Washington’s officers regularly toasted the health of the King.
Their fight was with the King’s ministers in their mind . Even after the decision to break was made many of the officers and leaders were open to monarchy in the United States.
Our enemies have greatly exaggerated the extent to which radical anti-monarchical elements played in the founding of our Republic. The military leaders wanted to make Washington king, but he declined in the face of the radical fringe democratic elements.

P EMPHASIZES THE COURT (effective) NOT VOTING (ineffective)
by John Mark
In any nation there will be capable and incapable people, wealthy and poor, etc – all across the spectrum.
There is a huge difference between giving less capable people (who often tend to vote for free stuff stolen from others) “via-negativa” power thru P-law (the power to STOP violations of reciprocity) and giving them “via-positiva” power thru voting (the power to INITIATE violations of reciprocity).
The Propertarian system does NOT allow less capable (often parasite-minded) people the ability to INITIATE violations of reciprocity, and at the same time it DOES allow everyone to stop violations of reciprocity. So you can see it solves 2 problems at once: It TAKES AWAY via-positiva initiating power from a demographic that has a majority of parasite-instinct people, and GIVES via-negativa power to STOP violations of reciprocity, to everyone.
And under P-Law the average person WILL have MUCH more power to counter the well-heeled than today.
First, keep in mind that poor people even today often have no trouble getting legal representation when the lawyers believe their is strong chance of a big financial reward. P-Law would provide significant $ rewards – violators of reciprocity will have to pay damages, and the richer the violator, the greater the financial reward for taking them to court will be in many cases.
Second, under P-Law there will be very few if any frivolous lawsuits because loser has to pay extra damages. This reduces/eliminates the ability of rich people to use their wealth to “play the lawsuit game” as a tool of control over the poor. Everyone regardless of wealth level will be much more careful about their actions and words in general (so as not to end up in court by violating reciprocity), and careful about going to court (poor people if they have a good case will have no trouble finding a good lawyer, rich people will not be able to use frivolous lawsuits to intimidate & wear out opposition).
(Curt has thought this through very thoroughly. People just need to stick around long enough to find out that the multiple changes outlined in the propertarian system fix multiple problems as well as they can be fixed, keeping in mind that no fix will be 100% perfect.)

—-“Oh I totally get the plan. It’s particularly well presented here, put up next to the parallel issues in mathematics and science. I’m mostly agreeing with you. I’m just saying the ENTIRE current paradigm is based on the necessity of occluding changes in the cultural balance sheet. … That also brings us back to this notion that “capital is a monster.” It is voracious. It doesn’t care about your culture, your people … it doesn’t care about anything but profit. So the process by which one goes to war with the monster that is capital is almost sure to be very very ugly. That’s why I said capital would not like what you propose.”—-
