( I have a great intellectual empathy for David Gordon at Mises. When I hear myself talk I notice the similarities in everything. The difference is, while I can say “i read that in a paper… but not sure which one..”, David can say “it’s in x book on page y, in the upper left hand corner.” Seriously. The guy is freaking amazing. Beautiful human being. Love the man. )
October 13th, 2018 4:18 PM UNPACKING “DEMOCRACY REQUIRES HOMOGENEITY” by Richard Nikoley
—“Markets allow us to cooperate on means despite disparate ends. Democracy, only on same ends. Democracy requires homogeneity.”— CD
Let me unpack this a bit for those unfamiliar. Markets, or trade, is inherently win-win or the trade doesnât happen and there is no market. When you buy a pound of apples for $1, itâs because you want the apples more than you want the dollar and the tradesman wants the dollar more than he wants the pound of apples. This happens billions of times a day, globally. How many trades do you do in a single day, on average? 5-10, maybe? Multiply that by 7 Billion. Thatâs upwards of 70 billion trades daily and as a win-win, thatâs a lot of happiness. We should be thankful. Moreover, markets are typically ideologically, racially, gender, culturally, etc. agnostic or neutral. Itâs the great mediator. Traders tend not to care a bit who the other person is or what they believe, and yet they serve each other. How amazing. How fortunate we are. Now, contrast that with democracy. Democracy is winner take all. Either you keep your dollar AND get his pound of apples, or he keeps his apples and gets your dollar. Itâs windfall win-lose. It only tends to work reasonably well in homogenous populations or institutions. Think Japan and Scandinavian counties (as they used to be before the Muslim influx). Relatively small populations of largely the same race, culture, national history. Or, consider a large public company where directors are elected quasi-democratically by shareholders, but everyone is more or less on the same page of making capital gains and paying dividends. Democracy does not scale to something like a European Union or a United States. Totally dumb idea, especially extending the franchise to those with no stake (no property, no financial assets, no business concern with employees, etc.).

—“Hi Curt. I’ve recently decided to totally disconnect from Facebook, and in all honesty, half of the reason I’ve stayed this long is because of your posts and content, and those of your followers. So I’d like to know if there is any other place online I could continually read such content. And if you don’t have one already, a Discord community for your work and your followers would be amazing, and I’d join in a heartbeat.”— A Friend
WEB SITE Our web site is updated regularly at: https://propertarianinstitute.com I tend to batch post from FB to the site about once a month. DISCORD Our discord server permanent link with temporary access is at https://discord.gg/kB4chrm Discord is run by Pomen and others, and I tend to ‘hang out’ there when working but available for questions. PATREON https://www.patreon.com/propertarianism I tend to put videos and audio on patreon. Patreon would be my preferred platform if they weren’t such content nazis.

Just want to take a moment to point out that Overton Window of Fashion passed ‘The Sartorialist’ by last year. Men are becoming men again. it’s just SLOWLY happening.
We we men. We’re slow that way.
October 13th, 2018 5:27 PM [A]s far as I know universal suffrage has been the subject of criticism throughout all of history, and the evidence of the 20th century that it provides little but the slow road to authoritarian redistributionism. The only reason that it’s been possible in the 20th century is the luxury of the returns on the debt possible under fiat money capitalism, at the cost of continuous dygenia (reduction of and now the reversal of, intergenerational human capital). There is a vast difference between those of us who understand both micro, macro, political, and human capital economics, and grasp that political systems are simply those we can afford in the moment, and nothing more. And that the only way to preserve the liberty created by western civilization is to continue the eugenic program of the ancient and medieval manorialists: meritocratic tripartism (slave-serf-freman-citizen-nobleman meritocracy) or the british invention of adding houses for each of the classes as they contribute to responsibility for management of the economy: Monarch, Landed Nobility (Regions), Commons (small business owners), and Church (proxy for the working classes). The mistake they made was not adding a new house for the working classes, and another for women upon their enfranchisement. This would let us continue the historical market for commons between the classes, rather than under liberalism(classical liberalism in the english speaking world). The result instead was underclass rule, and the use of propaganda and media to (lie to) use ideological hyperbole to obtain power by non-market means. Majoritarian democracy is and can only be, a monopoly. We had the nearly perfect government. Rule of law resulting in markets for commons, as well as markets for goods, services and information. However, the middle class seizure of power from the landed aristocracy, and the inclusion of the underclass as a means of opposing the rise of marxism-communism, merely kicked the political can down the road. And we are all standing around looking at that can wondering where to kick it next.

October 13th, 2018 4:58 PM IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU MEAN OR INTEND.
—“Marxists believe…”—
You’re confusing what people intend, with the 1) method of argument (sophism, and self deception) 2) whether they are making true or false claims on true or false premises, 3) What people intend(or claim) vs the operations and consequences that they produce, 4) whether they are advocating reciprocity and production and eugenics, or proportionality, parasitism, and dysgenics. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU “MEAN”. It matters what you do, and the consequences of doing so. and whether you’re advocating theft and dysgenia, or reciprocity and eugenia. a) people were not oppressed. inferior humans were incrementally domesticated just like all other animals, in the most peaceful way possible: manorialism, criminal prosecution, incompetence in the face of nature, and winter, disease, and war weeding them. b) the classes exist because of competency despite nepotism and regression to the mean, because there are only three means of organizing people: force, remuneration (reward), and ostracization (conformity vs reputation destruction). And three means of transforming the universe for our use: labor (physical transformation), calculation (numbers, science, etc), organization (priests, managers, executives), and rule (force law violence war). The use of which means of coercion (force/law/truth/science, religion/philosophy/ideology, commerce/law/credit) can be specialized into a monopoly (east), specialized into a market (west), conflated (egypt, mesopotamia. c) we do not, and the evidence is marxists-postmodernist-feminists (and the feminine equalitarian mind in general) lack the AGENCY (self awareness) to understand what they do, only what the experience and intuit and therefore seek to justify. It is inconceivable to a masculinist (conservative, aristocracy, meritocracy, reciprocity, loyalty, purity) how much time and effort a feminist (liberal, socialist, equalitarian, proportionality, individualist, devotional, impurist) worries about ‘being left behind’ (equality). Why? The pack can intuit the herd, but the herd can’t intuit the pack. Masculine Great Ape Packs, Female Herds. And our minds (brains) are structured (evolved) for each bias. SO YES IT’S SIMPLE: IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT EXCUSES YOU MAKE FOR THE ARGUMENTS AND OUTCOMES YOU ADVOCATE.
