    ON THE MILITARY’S ABILITY TO CONTROL A REVOLUTION

    (from elsewhere)

    Of course I’ll disagree with him, and so will anyone who looks a the locations of the troops, their numbers the BIAS of those troops, the numbers of the police, and first responders, the size of the territory, the number of worldwide assets that have to be protected from hostile external factors, the fragility of the system, and the success WORLDWIDE OF EVERY 5GW revolutionary force. Look at Syria, the Arab Spring, Yemen, the problem Iran has, turkey had, the fragility of the american grids, the dependence of urban underclasses on availability of cash, food, and digital transfers. The zero savings of the population…. I mean. the entire american experiment is dependent upon maintaining economic velocity that we currently refer to as just-in-time production and distribution due to plentiful information and extremely low cost transportation. There is very little electricity, heat, food, water, and such in the supply chain. Especially if actors function in winter, entire cities can be depopulated in weeks. I mean. It’s not like it takes millions in the streets. Man-on-man warfare went out with napoleon. Industrial warfare went out with the 1990’s. Today it’s just ‘break some infrastructure’ and let population density and the fragility of the supply chain do the work of turning people into rabid animals the male underclass of which will prey on the rest. As an example, one building can consume the fire departments of multiple cities. What if in the same city someone started 100 of those fires? What if that were done while breaking hydrant heads and losing the water pressure to fight the fire? Everyone thinks of millions in the streets but what I learned in ukraine is that 100 people can do all the fighting and just fall back into those people in the streets, in homes, in workplaces, and the state cannot pursue them. I mean, I am not the only person who has studied enough on this subject to make these statements. The military can ONLY concentrate force. There are only 2m. Of those 2m who will sympathize with the state if we offer a solution that restores military influence in the state, and improves the conditions of the soldiers? So the question is, not whether you have some ‘spastic’ uprising. The question is whether you position demands THAT PEOPLE WANT ANYWAY and drive those demands such that the state resists, but he military and police AGREE WITH THEM.

  • Demographic Distribution

    SORRY FASCISM WON: AUTHORITARIAN STATE CAPITALISM = NATIONAL SOCIALISM = FASCISM Fascism didn’t fail. Fascism won. The entire world has chosen fascism: National Socialism with it’s extreme intolerance for competition. EVERY polity in the world is moving to ending political competition as dead weight, and is forcing all competition into the marketplace where it is constructive. Those groups that choose fascism (national socialism, or what we call, in order to preserve the gated institutional narrative ‘state capitalism’), are dominating (china, japan, korea) are reducing costs by enforcing fascism (state capitalism, national socialism). I mean, the american left is fascist which is ironic as hell. The american right is not, it’s reciprocal. which is ironic as hell. That said, the chinese tried communism and then moved to fascism, and the movement toward democracy ended in 92 right after the wall fell.

    Because the law says I can’t cross that line. I can talk about how a revolution will play out and how I think it will be successful, and what tactics I think will be used. I can state the demands. But crossing the line in to advocating violence is a crime.

    GOOD CRITICISM: UTOPIANISM? BUT NO….

    —“Propertarianism as far as I understand is an utopian vision of humanity as primarily rational. An implementation of such an utopian vision may have many unforeseen consequences, as micromanagement of human resources is not in Curt’ strategic vision. The general disapproval of Abrahamic cults within his system may lead to many improvised atrocities, created out of sheer escalation of violence. To conclude – this scene is possible and likely to happen, although Curt would probably disapprove of it.”—Igor Rogov

    –” … an utopian vision of humanity as primarily rational.”–

    No, but that law is conducted rationally empirically and tediously operationally. And the legal class is in fact, rational.

    Frames: Math, Science, Economics, Law, History, Literature, Philosophy, Religion(Theology), and the Occult and Magic. People.

    —“… An implementation of such an utopian vision may have many unforeseen consequences,…”—

    Hmmm…. All increases in the suppression of violence, theft, and fraud have predictable universal consequences, and that is raising the cost of doing so, and shifting people either into markets or into more advanced (indirect) means of parasitism.

    All decreases in superstition have produced extraordinary increases in quality of life. The problem we see is the inadequate suppression of pseudoscience(marxism and fiat monetarism), sophism(postmodernism and feminism), and supernaturalism (islam and judaism in particular).

    There is every reason to expect that increases in the ‘scientification’ of the social sciences will produce the same or better returns than the ‘scientification’ of the physical sciences.

    There is certainly every reason to expect that definancializing, de politicizing, and suppressing fraud, libel, and slander will produce windfalls that will restore the pre-72 middle class rates at the expense of financial class and bureaucratic and media rates.

    It’s not that there won’t be unexpected consequences, but that those unexpected consequences have historically been fantastic. It was the rollback of our laws to ‘tolerate’ consumer capitalism that has been the problem.

    THE CONFLICT

    Can you teach mindfulness, ethnonationalism, transcendence and create a non-supernatural religion? Absolutely. it was the hardest problem to solve. it is absolutely possible. if it is possible to teach reading, writing, and arithmetic, manners, ethics, morals and norms, it is possible to teach mindfulness – and we know so that the more desirable civilizations appear to do so. So the argument that we must have a ‘religion of nonsense’ is false.

    However….

    If people wanna make cults they will no matter what anyone does because it fills a need. That does not mean the need the cults fill is the only one possible.

    As today many means of framing the world exist in each culture with classes navigating to the most useful.

    I have been struggling to further understand, but as someone (possibly also Igor) helped me understand, Slavic civ does not have one other than the church. However, the west has all of those Frames listed above; India has at least the scientific, legal, political-philosophical, and traditional-religious. And china has the scientific, bureaucratic, wisdom lit, and buddhism. Japan has the the shinto and buddhist as well as feudal martial, and confucian and now scientific. I can go through most cultures but one of the things I have come to understand is that there are cultures that produced no wisdom lits of their own. And this is a bigger hurdle than I had originally imagined.

    So this is why it is easier for some western groups and harder than others, is longer periods under MORE LITERATURES, producing classes in each of the literatures over time. Thereby relying on a portfolio rather than a monopoly.

    PROPERTARIANISM’S CONTENTS:

    1) explain the cause of western uniqueness (Done)

    2) create a formal, value-independent, cross disciplinary, fully commensurable language sufficient for decidability of ALL conflicts in court, thereby restoring the market for common law in opposition to the market for goods services and information.. (Done)

    3) create a constitution restoring that uniqueness using that language (Done) within that constitution, ALSO provide a set of incentives for definancializing, de-propagandizing, de-politicizing the current era.( Done)

    4) Apply the method to all questions – literally all. Such that we demonstrate how these CAN be decided. In other words produce a canon of solved problems so that lies cannot be made as they were in the past.

    5) Produce advice on a “means of transition.”

    AS SUCH

    it is an evolutionary enhancement of law that extends the current tort constraint on goods and services and the speech regarding each to political speech in order to compensate for the industrialization of lying that has been made possible by the development of mass media.

    So the only question of any merit is, which of the strategies will achieve the necessary ends, and will any of them come at lower cost? Not, ‘there is a low cost I am wiling to bear for this good’.

    because it doesn’t require murdering your neighbors (or kin) and children, and you’re constructing a dramatic nonsense straw man in order to either preserve or create virtue signals, or to poison the well of discourse in order to cover cowardice. UA revolution. Example.
