  • The Limits Of Political Protest

    1 – There are limits to interpersonal action – that is the meaning of ‘ethical’. 2 – There are limits to social action – that’s the meaning of ‘moral’. 3 – There are limits to political action – that is the meaning of ‘sacred’. 1 – There are circumstances that are ethically constrained and circumstances that are not. 2 – Circumstances that are morally constrained and circumstances that are not. 3 – Circumstances that are sacred and constrained, and circumstances that are not. Festivals, Rituals, Churches, and Courts are sacred because the function of these venues is to deprive us of individualism such that we bond in equality outside of the competitive markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, and political power. These venues are not markets. We have markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, and political power. We agree to peaceably compete in those markets only because we agree to preserve the sacred, the moral, and the ethical outside of them. Instead these venues are for demonstration of self sacrifice for the development of trust among super predators that cohabitate in close proximity. To politicize festival and ritual is to violate the ethical, moral, and sacred and to create division in that medium the sole purpose of which is to unite us. If you destroy our means of sacredness, morality, and ethics, then you destroy our ability to trust one another. It is precisely the function of ethical, moral, and sacred conditions that allow us to develop the trust that is necessary for personal, social, and political mindfulness, and the consequences of our trust or lack of it. The left has worked diligently to undermine the ethical (truth), the moral (family and responsibility), and the sacred (limits to selfishness). The only step after violating the sacred is civil war. The fact that anyone would violate sacredness and politicize a festival (Ritual) is simply evidence that we are already in a cold civil war. And we are very close to a hot civil war that will tear it all to pieces.

    I see way too many murder by cop that’s the result of (a) one officer instead of three, (b) failure to de-escalate, (c) overemphasis on the use of weapons instead of desescalation. The end result is too much equipment, the wrong kind of training, and too many benefits, and not enough personnel per car. This is the result of attempting to be economically efficient because of the high cost of labor. Which is nuts. Since it’s not exactly like there is a shortage of people willing to join the force, particularly if their job is to carry nothing other than pepper spray, tasers, handcuffs, in support of a single armed officer per car. There is absolutely no reason for the urgency used to bring people into submission. None. Thats all a consequence of failing to use numbers and de escalation, instead of concentrating violence in a single individual.

    1 – Communism: no state, people engaged in production, democratically decide how to allocate each according to his need. 2 – Socialism: total state ownership, with all income by redistribution. 3 – Fascism: Mixed private public ownership, with strict limits on commerce and behavior, such that maximum income is devoted to the production of commons. 4 – Social Democracy: Mixed public private ownership, but dividends (taxes) from the private sector redistributed for consumption. 5 – Classical Liberalism: Mixed public private Ownership with dividends (taxes) invested in commons, and without redistribution for consumption. 6 – Christian Monarchy: Monarchic ownership of territory, but nobility and property holders permission required for changes in taxation. 7 – Dictatorship: central ownership of everything and taxes collected by practical limitations, but with the intention of keeping the ‘public’ (cattle) productive. TWO AXES: X) Organization of production between involuntary(no property) and voluntary(Property). Y) Direction of proceeds of production and market activity to Government members, or to commons, or to consumers. That’s all the axes we have to work with. That’s all there is to do. Period.
