Russia’s Problem, like Americas, and unlike europe’s, is a minority that must govern an indigenous people of vast underclasses. #Trump

JOSLIN ON VERTICAL CLASS STRUCTURES AND RULE by Bill Joslin Without accommodatin
JOSLIN ON VERTICAL CLASS STRUCTURES AND RULE
by Bill Joslin
Without accommodating for agency, nomocracy would be limited to either timocracy (rule by property owners) or stratocracy (rule by military rank) or academics (technocracy) exclusively (monopoly).
Natural Law Nomocracy, as stated above, combines stratocracy (militia), timocracy (property owners), and technocracy (academia) as three paths to demonstrate excellence (meritocracy), three competing Houses for commons creation and management.
The result is aristocracy (rule by the best of all three houses) and could result in cartel management (houses team up to impose upon the other)
By grounding in demonstrated agency, Propertarianism allows for ANY meritocratic “house” or path to manifest and thus creates a market for rule.
Membership into the ruling class via demonstration opposed to permission allows ANYONE who can demonstrate they live by their own will access to rule. This opens up enfranchisement, increasing the vertical size of the ruling class and ensures anyone in the ruling class has skin-in-the-game and proven ability. No Vote, No induction, No invitation – you simply show up with your demonstration in hand – eliminating any monopoly power.

Not Since Slavery…. The White Middle And Working Classes Enslaved
Not since slavery have we seen people work so hard to justify the taking of the productivity of others – (rough quote of thomas sowell)

The Middle and Working Classes Are The Targets of Predation
THE MIDDLE CLASS IS THE TARGET OF PREDATION ****”I see my chief concern from simply living in a world full of relative upper class scoundrels, educated imbeciles and underclass zombies, and a middle and working class that appears to consist of the only moral people extant in western society – and they are the ones that least benefit from the current order – because they are being exterminated by it.”**** Curt Doolittle The Cult of Non Submission The Philosophy of Aristocracy The Natural Law of Sovereign Men The Propertarian Institute, Kiev, Ukraine

Aristocracy as Agency: and The Vertical And Horizontal Class Structures
ARISTOCRACY AS AGENCY, AND THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL CLASS STRUCTURES. Eli Harman makes a very important point, that I should, and we all should consider, when we refer to western man: that when constructing a class of Western man that we call ‘aristocracy’, which is a ‘class’ regardless of social and economic class, are we in fact referring to the preference for, necessity of, and selection for ‘Agency’? We use the term time preference; we use the term impulsivity. But these terms refer to the ‘negatives’ without stating a positive that is informative and testable. I use the term truthful. Others rational. But isn’t the central question agency? Isn’t that the question going into battle? Isn’t that the question building a social order? Isn’t that a question building a ruling class? Isn’t that a question building a judiciary class? isn’t that a question building an entrepreneurial class (Field Officers)? Isn’t that a question building a administrative class (lieutenants)? Even building the managerial class (sergeants)? Isn’t it a facsimile of agency that we build in military training? How to ‘report’ (testify), how to hold formation, how to overcome fear, embarrassment, emotion, exhaustion, pain, through training? Isn’t that military training the involuntary construction of stoicism? isn’t stoicism the construction of agency? Isn’t Aristocracy the achievement of agency? Isn’t that what Sovereignty results in? Agency? Isn’t Sovereignty an existential Condition in-fact, but Agency the Resource that makes Sovereignty both cognitively possible, and reciprocally necessary for the condition to exist? This is one of the questions I have been trying to solve for the past few years: Aristocracy consists of a class, like the military consists of a class: Priesthood(gossip), Scientist(craftsman), Aristocracy (force). And that one can join the aristocracy at many levels in society, just as one can join the military at many levels in society. We join aristocracy through the pursuit of sovereignty, through the use of agency(stoicism), and through the use of loyalty (shareholder contract). We construct horizontal classes: genetic class, social class, economic class. And we construct vertical classes: Priestly(gossip), Scientific (innovation and production), and Aristocratic (force). One of my own mistakes has been misconstruing the hierarchy of production, which is scientific, entrepreneurial, financial (administrative), craftsmanly(managerial), and laboring (transforming) classes as science vs craft and this was an error driven by the western tendency for the priesthood to fund ‘writing’ (gossip) intellectuals, and the aristocracy to fund engineers and artists (action) intellectuals. Like everyone else, despite identifying the three methods of coercion as three sets of elites, I gave too much emphasis to horizontal class structures, and not enough to vertical. I’ll continue to work on this analytically. But Eli has been framing this for a while now, and I just gleaned his insight. Curt Doolittle

The Spectrum of Agency
MUST-READ: ON SPECTRUM OF AGENCY DEMONSTRATED BY USE OF TESTIMONY BY BILL JOSLIN —-“Thoughts that might be worth exploring ->Qualification to acquire membership in a class based on demonstrated agency affords commensurability in assessing worthiness.
Demonstrate the degree one lives by their own agency dictates which class they belong (vertically) regardless of horizontal class (much talk with Joel on this in January) Testimonialism forces one to “demonstrate due diligence in speaking truthfully”. But this can also be stated as “demonstrating the degree of agency (due diligence) one has invested in the speech act (truthfulness). This adds a new “moral” level to testimonialism – in that one can communicate a testimonial truth which they have invested only the time it took to memorize it without any personal agency in developing it(low agency)…. one can speak a testimonial truth another developed but has invested their agency into understanding it (mid agency)… or one can speak a testimonial proof which one has developed on their own (the proof stands as a demonstration of their agency).(posts on cognitive self ownership)”—– Bill Joslin Now lets look at that last paragraph again: This adds a new “moral” level to testimonialism – LOW AGENCY One can communicate a testimonial truth which they have invested only the time it took to memorize it without any personal agency in developing it…. or MIDDLE AGENCY One can speak a testimonial truth another developed but has invested their agency into understanding it… or AGENCY One can speak a testimonial proof which one has developed on their own (the proof stands as a demonstration of their agency).(posts on cognitive self ownership) Agency of the youth, the adult, and the wise. -Curt -
