Politics is a proxy for violence between men. A market for trades to avoid violence. Women have permission to use this proxy -within limits. But risking life and limb is not substitutable. They risk men, not themselves. So, women: be very careful what you do with that violence. Because men are very aware that the proxy is revokable, and we can return to violence. We always, like children, test one another. Sometimes we find the limits .Unfortunately, the limit in politics is the restoration of violence.

The Evolution of Slaveries
THE EVOLUTION OF SLAVERY Slavery exists wherever exit, and return to subsistence, is practically impossible. Slavery: violence slave Serfdom: land slave Employee: wage slave Consumer: credit slave Citizen: tax slave The only freedom is food, water, and shelter, self-sufficiency, with participation in the market purely voluntary. And only commissions on transactions payment for the commons. Yet all of us must be paid for policing of the commons if we police it – dividends. With self-sufficiency and payment for commons we gain liberty. All else is slavery. Roughly speaking each person could take 10k in dividends at present. Between self-sufficiency and 10k in dividends on our continuous investment in the commons, we would possess liberty. Otherwise we’re just farmed.

Too Little Killing
We didn’t kill enough politicians in the revolution to make them scared of the people. We need another Maidan. And this time, we need to bring a gallows. And maybe a few guillotines. And a bunch of old stumps and dull axes as backup.

The Greatest Happiness? The Versions
NICE VERSION —“The greatest happiness is to scatter your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters.”— LESS NICE VERSION —“The real greatest pleasure of men is to repress rebels and defeat enemies, to exterminate them and grab everything they have; to see their married women crying, to ride on their steeds with smooth backs, to treat their beautiful queens and concubines as pajamas and pillows, to stare and kiss their rose-colored faces and to suck their sweet nipple-colored lips.”— THE ORIGINAL? As far as I know the original is from the carvings on the Palace of Nimrud. And is nowhere near as ‘romantic’. WHAT DO I HEAR WHEN I READ IT? “The greatest pleasure is to defeat, and rule.” BTW: this is probably fabricated. Since it was written long after his death. But all falsehoods originate in some grain of truth.
