    DO FREE MARKET POLICIES HELP POOR COUNTRIES

    Free Markets are advocated under the presumption that in a world without government interference **comparative advantage** will provide the optimum market for goods, services, and information to everyone. However, this doesn’t turn out to be true. Free-Market is a code word for: 1 – all government non-interference trade by taxation. 2 – all governmental non-interference in trade by policy 3 – socialist government interference in the organization of production, distribution, and trade. In the **developing world**, this translates to: 1 – on one hand, ‘the reduction and elimination of corruption’ and 2 – on the other hand ‘the privatization of common resources’ by internal members, and ‘the exploitation of common resources’ by outside members. In the **Developed World** translates to: 1- Forcing all post-war nations to grant human (natural) rights (property rights), rather than territorial expansion (growth by warfare). 2 – Forcing all post-war nations to compete entirely by meritocratic production distribution and trade, so that survival is dependent upon being a good market citizen of the world, thus reducing the chances of another world war. 3 – (Failed Hypothesis) By encouraging democracy (which appears to have been a universal disaster) citizens both 1 and 2 will be brought to bear out of citizen’s self interest. (Despite the fact that communism and islamism are hostile to meritocracy.) **This is America’s postwar policy in a nutshell.** Add to this policy the unstated threat that ‘*You can Choose your own government under democracy but if you choose poorly we will punish you so severely that you’ll be back in the stone age.*” The problem is that America promotes the CARROT but doesn’t mention the STICK. And it turns out that Authoritarian State Capitalism, which is just monarchy at greater scale, is superior to democracy in every case OTHER than small homogenous protestant nation states where everyone is a sixth cousin at the outside.

  • Religion Serves as Civic Education

    Religion serves as civic education, and ‘education’ as economic education. If we end the falsehoods in christianity, and restore our church to truthfulness, then we can restore education to the church – and remove the state’s influence from it.

  • Female mode of argument

    Female mode of argument: The implied threat of reproductive denial and shaming or harming those who may grant you reproductive access. polluting the market for access to reproductive exercise. The problem is, when the critic’s APPROVAL or DISAPPROVAL is of no value, then… that strategy is meaningless.

  • 1400 Years of Islamic Death Destruction

    —“No one sees the terrorist activity of white people around the world”— Waqas Ahmad It’s just 1400 years of islamic death destruction and regression on one hand, and dragging half domesticated animals out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, hard labor, disease, on the other. It’s not complicated. We don’t do terrorism. WE DO WAR, CONQUEST, and EXPLOITATION. Not that it’s a good thing. But we see terrorism as cowardice. —“the pirate of west are notorious for criminal activity . I don’t need to describe them much.”— Waqas Ahmad Absolutely true. No question about it. That does not change the fact that the great civilizations of the ancient world were destroyed by islam and rendered into poverty and darkness, and that those parts of Europe conquered still cannot recover. And that europeans have in the ancient and modern world dragged man out of ignorance and poverty and disease. This is just true. I advocate separatism. walls between our civilizations.

  • “Hey Curt, this might be kind of silly, but you have been on fire lately with so

    —“Hey Curt, this might be kind of silly, but you have been on fire lately with some really dense, concise, powerful blurbs I guess I was wondering if you might write some positive affirmations, like a mantra, or something to repeat every morning to kind of self program yourself with the proper attitude to go out and conquer the day?”— A Friend That is a really good idea but coming up with something really good will take me a lot of iterations over a few months… ok? It’s just how poetry and prayer work. There are a few models of such things that we know work. I’ll work on it.
