I’ve always wanted to run companies. I couldn’t care less what company it is. As long as I can do it profitably, it’s vaguely interesting, and it’s not immoral (I don’t care if its legal or not, just moral or not), then I feel that I have built my little kingdom and have contributed to society.
When I told my first future father in law this (he was from Westchester County) he was indignant that my plans weren’t more precise. I didn’t want to really argue with him. But it really bothered him.
Do good at what you can do. Don’t look for perfection. It isn’t there.

THE VIRTUE OF VIOLENCE
I’m an aristocratic egalitarian libertarian. I don’t free-ride on others labors then justify my liberty. I don’t claim my freedom is innate. Or a natural law. Or a gift of the gods. Instead, I claim that property rights are obtained in contractual exchange from others who likewise promise to defend that liberty – those property rights.
It’s my moral obligation to fight for the self determination of any people who seek to be free. It is only through this agreement that I obtain my freedom, we obtain our freedom, and free men increase in number.
I’m not afraid of violence. I worship it. I covet it. I want to collect it. To celebrate it. To honor it. Because with enough of it I can free myself, and others from the tyranny of the state.
Sic Semper Tyrannis.
The state should fear us. The state shall fear us. And once they fear us we shall win.

I don’t try to justify anything. I don’t have to. I might advocate what *I* want. I might help you advocate what *you* want, and help someone else with what *they* want – we have different needs.
I am perfectly happy if the underclasses engage in mutual reinsurance (socialism). I just don’t want to pay for insurance that I don’t need or want – and which harms me. I am, by my abilities, my own insurance. There is no reason we must possess a monopoly under which we all rely upon the same means of insurance. I think very few of us would rely upon ourselves, and the majority rely upon insurance by others.
But since I want liberty, to obtain liberty without the state, the only means we have of providing a rational means for the resolution of differences is property and property rights, under organically evolving “common” law, I just need to know what is required of the common law to construct a voluntary polity in the absence of the state.
This is an empirical question. It’s not a moral one. I do not argue what people SHOULD want. Since what they ‘should’ want and what they ‘do’ want are almost always accurate reflections of their reproductive strategies. I argue instead that given what any group wants, here is how to achieve it under the common law, cooperatively rather than violently – as the state now does.
That doesn’t mean that you couldn’t replace some sections of that common law with ‘rule-by-man’ institutions within your own group – rather than rule of law under the law. Within your group you’re welcome to. We liberty lovers won’t allow you to force us to participate with you in an ‘involuntary’ organization.
We won’t allow you means that we will use violence to make sure that you cannot. We’re smarter. That’s the thing, you know.

THE FAR RIGHT?
Technically speaking while a libertarian, like Hoppe, I’m also a member of the ‘far right’. I have no problem with the ‘Far Right’ and it’s emphasis on excellence, tradition, family, exclusion, ostracization, nationalism, and all that good tribal stuff that we lost and are dearly paying for. I understand that the working-class far-right wants elites to fight for their privileges – even if that privilege is only status signals. And the working-class, and increasingly the middle class, feels that their elites have sold them out. Because they have been sold out. And they are losing their privilege, earned for them by their elites in generations past, and now abandoned and consumed by them in generations present.
But that doesn’t override my moral preference for either liberty for myself, and my people, or my moral preference for self determination. If some other people do not want a far right world, and if they can have it without parasitism upon those of us who seek liberty, status, or tradition, then I”m in support of it.
I’m all in favor of many small countries with many differences. And let the market sort it out. And if you’re not, then by definition you’re an immoral person. A predator and parasite.
Heterogeneity is a luxury good. Under threat, people return to tribal roots. Ad we are now under a permanent, unalterable, threat that we have not seen in over a thousand years.
Russia is working with this knowledge. But I cannot tolerate being under ‘the only white people who failed’. Their pervasive nihilism and corruption. Their persistent failures. Their low trust society.
So if Russia will not restore both tribalism and liberty, then its up to *US* to restore tribalism and liberty. Because liberty is only possible within a MORALLY homogenous polity.

BTW: Do you know what’s going to happen? Ghettos. The scale of which we have not seen before. Why? Because it’s been done before. It works. And we are going to flood the intellectual market with papers on how to do it.
Yeah. I’m talking to you. You who want something to do? To contribute? We need papers on how we have constructed ghettos in the past, and how to construct ghettos today.

(still sick as a dog. can’t go into the office. can barely walk around. pretty much drinking from my inhalers. managed to walk across the street for bottled water. bought some cookies. decided I didn’t need them. gave some of them to two workmen doing wall-repairs, who were surprised but pleased. gave the rest to the girls when I got home – who were surprised and pleased. then fell hard and fast back to bed. seems like I’m just catching a bunch of bugs in serial. plus I’m not crazy about our new neighborhood. its too far from the office, and doesn’t have nice yuppy coffee shops. but at least it’s out of downtown if the crisis goes like I think it will. right now i miss the west coast. not the predatory government that i hate with every fiber in me. but the people. the silly oblivious, naive, egoistic, ignorant americans and all the irrelevant nonsense that they talk about and do. all their selfish moronic status seeking. but you know, at least there aren’t tanks on the border, even if there are even more thugs in the streets.)

PROPAGANDA
Just as a matter of art, the Russian use of the internet, RTV, paid newsgroup and chat room propagandists, denial of service attacks, edited and manipulated video and photographs, paying local insurgents to cause chaos and destruction, bribing poorly paid police to stay home, while issuing perfect-pitch propaganda from bench, has got to be the most innovative form of warfare that I have seen in my lifetime.
I mean, the whole international islamist militia is pretty good. But they have nothing on Russia.
The only alternative to this kind of warfare is the anglo-swiss military model, which trains every single man, gives him a rifle, and makes him stay and capable through his 40’s.
I mean. As someone who appreciates good propaganda and ideology, marketing and strategy, I have to say that its pretty impressive, low cost way of conducting war.
Everyone who hasn’t read Keegan’s History of Warfare should: war is conducted and won by the criteria set by the culture. The west uses truth and immediate conflict for immediate resolution. China uses precisely the opposite: deception and delay. Russia has chosen the middle ground of deception and steady progress.
When we come for Washington DC it will be on such terms.

DEMOTISM – TYRANNY IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE
—“Demotism — Rule in the name of the People. The term has been recently popularized by Mencius Moldbug. Democracy and Communism are seen as two types of Demotism. Reactionaries view Demotism as a form of mob rule, where politicians pander to what they see as the popular will, rather than making their own decisions as independent leaders. A quote of unknown attribution, which first appears in print in 1951, sums up the Reactionary view on Demotism: “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.” Reactionaries see the Reign of Terror and Stalin’s Purges as classic consequences of Demotism. Though monarchies have historically persecuted religious and ethnic minorities within their borders, none have shed blood on the scale of the French or Russian Revolutions and their subsequent purges. Quoting Erik von Keuhnelt-Leddihn: “The renaissance of democracy marked the beginning of the Age of the “G”—guillotines, genocide, gaols, gallows, gas chambers and Gulags.”— by Michael Anissimov
