—“Between the US, the EU, Russia, and China, what do you think is the most capitalist society?”—
The Capitalism vs Communism dichotomy is a fabrication of the Marxists to distract from the reality that:
(a) all states must practice **mixed economies**, with state centralization solving market limitations at the cost of poor capital efficiency and high corruption, until private capital can decentralize production and increase capital efficiency and decrease corruption; Advanced economies must innovate and require markets (private sector) majority production, and backward economies must catch up and create markets by state (public sector) majority production.
(b) all states capable of collecting revenues either by investment and returns, taxation, interest collection, profiting from direct management, or all of the above, can choose whether to spend the income on **consumption (redistribution) or production( further investment)**. Those states that are unable to collect revenues can militarize the population (as did the soviets) and minimize wages so that the maximum resources can be directed to production of commons.
(c) the question is whether one operates by **rule of law** that naturally produces markets, **rule by legislation** negotiated between classes, or **rule by regulation** by monopoly bureaucracy, or **rule by command (discretion)** by dictator.
ANGLOSPHERE countries are by far – without even a close competitor – dependent upon rule of law, rule by legislation, and state funding basic research, but almost no state involvement in production – why? Because judges were always independent professionals and less subject to corruption.
*Mixed Economy, Favoring Private Sector, and Rule of Law.*
CONTINENTAL – countries practice the napoleonic law of rule by legislation and rule by regulation. Why? Because french judges were appointed or purchased their positions and napoleon could not trust them to refrain from discretionary rulings (making up law).
*Mixed Economy, Favoring mixed public private sectors, and Rule of Legislation.*
POST SOVIET – Countries are cripple by soviet legal codes, but while russia and ukraine have reformed their laws (ukrainian law is quite good really), the problem in both countries has been reducing corruption that was endemic under the soviets in all walks of life. Although we must compliment Putin on tripling the number of cases in in the courts, even if he has not succeeded in preventing coercive thefts of businesses by state members (I could not find a single company to buy in Moscow because they must keep ‘fake’ books in order to prevent people in the government from conspiring to take over the business by confiscatory corruption.)
*Mixed economy, Both Heavy public and Private sectors, and rule by legislation and rule by Regulation*
INDIA. Indian law is fine. Like everything else in india, the engine of indian order is not the government but culture, tradition, and the family. Russia crosses eleven time zones but it’s still a country. America is an empire and each state or region a different country. Europe is trying and failing to repeat the american experiment and failing at the same time america is failing. India likewise is a continent and an empire not a country. India is unable to devote sufficient resources (for reasons we do not understand) to either providing speedy (timely) justice, or to producing sufficient infrastructure, given her people’s rates of reproduction. India lacks china’s authoritarianism and remains familialism which is both beautiful on the one hand but slows her rate of adaptation. Long term india will do wonderfully.
*Mixed Economy, Favoring Private Sector, Rule by Legislation*
CHINA has never practiced any semblance of law in the western sense, and instead has practiced arbitrary rule: **Rule by Command**, and **Rule by Regulation** and this seems to be the preference of the chinese people. China was a very poor (still is) backward country having made the mistake to reject modernity, then to embrace communism in order to prevent the south from seceding, leaving beijing in the north to rule poverty, and the commercial south to separate and join modernity. Mao would not tolerate this. After the failure of communism China saw the failure of the Soviets, and then the american defeat of the Iraqis, and this combination created today’s Chinese strategy of restoring her traditional position as the central power in east asia – despite all her neighbors fearing that china will also return to violence. Unlike india, china has a long history of monopoly authoritarian rule, and even more so, has the power of the Red Army (which really governs china’s factions). The chinese have a long history of pragmatism and reason – and almost no sense of the value of human life, and nothing approaching indian or european ethics. Secondly the chinese people are rather industrious and hard-working. So between authoritarian hierarchy, a means of enforcing political will with the army, a literate and intelligent hard working workforce, an endless supply of cheap labor, and endless debt capacity, and willingness to have an economic crash, china has been able to maximize state investment, migration of people into the workforce, and expansion of the military, and then to clamp down in response to an end to the boom. There is no question that for china, this is the optimum method of ‘catching up from behind’.
*Mixed Economy, Heavily Favoring State Sector, Rule by Command*
The most **capitalist** countries are those with the most rule of law and the most private sector. (*anglosphere*)
The Most** mixed economies** are those with rule of legislation, a mix of private and state sector, (*continental*)
The most **command economies **are those with the least rule of law and the most state sector (*china*)
China has more successfully used debt capacity than any country in the world. This does not mean it is capitalist, since capitalism means bias to the private sector and minimizing the state sector.

THE SECRET OF EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION
The Secret of European Civilization is our common, Natural Law of tort under individual sovereignty, reciprocity, contract, warranty, testimony (truth regardless of face), before judge and jury of our peers, creating no option for survival other than competition in markets in all walks of life: association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, polities, and war, at the cost of limiting reproduction of the underclasses such that surpluses can be directed to the production of high cost, and high return, normative, cultural, institutional, and physical commons. This is the optimum strategy for defeat of Nature’s Red Queen, Group Competition, and achieves the most rapid transcendence of man, maintaining the optimum condition of man, by institutionalizing the development of agency: human capital. And no other people has, or demonstrably can, or even desires, to do it.

“CURT, WHAT’S A GRAMMAR IN PROPERTARIANISM?”
(important)(core)
A grammar has traditionally referred to a book containing the rules of a language. But I had to but quite a bit of work into ‘disambiguating’ the terms we use in language.
The human cognitive facility consists of identification of constant relations between stimuli in time resulting in categorization (identity).
The human auto association facility consists of discovering relations between categories (identities).
The human memory facility consists of repetition of stimuli or rehearsal from short term memory, to create, reinforce, change, and eliminate constant relation within and between categories (locations, places, barriers, models, identities)
The human logical facility consist of tests of constant, inconstant, and unrecognized relations between states (categories, identities).
The human grammar facility refers to our physical ability to perform continuous recursive disambiguation using a stream of signals, most commonly in the form of sounds.
The human language facility refers to the use of patterns of symbols or sounds in sequence of continuously recursive attempts at disambiguation.
A language consists of Phonemes (sounds), Morphemes(meaningful combination of sounds – roots), Vocabulary (words), Phrases (state), Sentences (changes in state – transactions), Stories (collections of transactions), Grammar (rules of organization making possible disambiguation by inference), and Syntax (further disambiguation – specifically when writing).
A vocabulary consists of Names (Nouns, references to referents), Name Substitutes (pronouns), Properties (Adjective, state), Operations (verbs, actions, state of acting), Properties of Operations (Adverb). and Approval or Rejection (yes no true false agree disagree etc). Note that I’ve clarified some terms here a little differently than we traditionally do.
However (this is the issue) the collections of permissible dimensions (paradigms) limit the rules of continuous recursive disambiguation: The logic of the paradigm.
This is why…. Let’s use math because it’s the most simple language we have that all of us share.
Mathematics consists of names of positions (numbers), variables (pronouns), names of operations ( mathematical operations, verbs), phrases (expressions), statements (functions), sentences (transactions), proofs (stories), and Approval or Rejection (true false). There are no adverbs or adjectives.
What differs between ordinary language and mathematical language is that mathematics (the language of positional names) and ordinary language (the language of human experience) differ in ‘dimensions of permissible references’ to both Names (nouns) and Operations (verbs).
And we can do the same analysis for every Grammar (system of rules) in the spectrum of: math, accounting, logics, programming, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, recipes, protocols, laws, testimony, descriptions, ordinary language, narration, storytelling, fictions, fictionalisms, and deceits – and everything in between.
And we use the term “Deflationary grammar” for the narrowest grammars (math, logics), “ordinary grammar” for ordinary language, and “Inflationary grammar” for the widest grammars (story, fiction, fictionalism, deceits).
Deflationary < —- Ordinary —-> Inflationary.
So instead of the traditional hierarchy:
Human Facilities -> language -> phoneme -> morpheme -> paradigms (metaphysics and resulting semantics) -> vocabulary -> grammar -> syntax.
Instead we have:
Human Facilities (see above) -> vocabulary -> paradigms(dimensions) -> grammar of paradigm(rules of story, transaction, function, expression, operation, names: the LOGIC of the paradigm) -> permissible vocabulary -> necessary syntax.
So a Grammar refers to the Paradigm (permissible dimensions of perception, cognition, and action), the Names, Operations, and Rules of Continuous Recursive Disambiguation (morpheme, word, phrase, sentence, story organization) and the LOGIC (constant relations) that limit consistency, correspondence, coherence, and completeness.
So in P we use a ‘grammar’ to refer to the Vocabulary, logic, syntax of a paradigm. And when we use the term “the Grammars’ we mean the spectrum
And Operational Grammar or Testimony is a Deflationary Grammar: a Deflation (constraint upon) ordinary language grammar, limiting it to a single point of view, absent the verb to be, using complete promissory sentences, describing a series of operations (human actions), resulting in testable transactions (sentence), and sets of transactions (testimony).

—“Curt Doolittle is a moron…. Because is talks nonsense, its just waffle which doesn’t link together. He compared himself to Aristotle in reply to a comment I made on one of his videos. He isn’t very smart and can’t make higher connections to the true. He is similar to Jordan B Peterson or Ben Shapiru…. Because he thinks he has done some genius work by converting political language and idea’s into scientific language, which just makes political stuff much more complex than it actually is. What he’s doing is looking at a cream wall and trying to find the flecks of white in it. Its utterly pointless.”—William Walker
lol….
Answer a question: by what system of rules are governments – the largest organizations in the world – operated? (law) What differs between those organization (the body of laws and the limits upon them). By what other means is it possible for them to be operated? (none). Law is the operating system for governments. And if you had sufficient worldly knowledge and experience, you would know that.
Logistics in war, Law in State, Contract in Commerce, Protocols in Medicine, Norm in commons, Tradition in Family.
It’s ok if you’re only fit for the soldiery. You don’t need to understand. You either need to fight for your people or stay out of the way.
As for understanding the work, well, you know, stupidities such as “Calculus is hard so it mustn’t be useful or true” apply to Propertarianism. It’s hard. Its useful. And it’s true. You don’t understand the constitution or the law either. Yet you think you do and you live by the rules put in place by the vast body of the common law, the constitution, the amendements, the findings of the court, the federal code, the state codes, and the regulations that make them possible.
You don’t understand quantum mechanics and you still can use a cell phone, a computer, the internet, and satellite GPS systems.
Understanding is overrated.
