  • EASTERN EUROPE AS GHETTO: PERMISSION NOT LIBERTY (from elsewhere) I like Tucker

    EASTERN EUROPE AS GHETTO: PERMISSION NOT LIBERTY

    (from elsewhere)

    I like Tucker Personally. But (a) these guys are not exactly serious intellectuals – libertarians tend not to be. And (b) he is trying to find an income stream and that’s difficult in libertarianism other than selling complaints (not solutions). I have a hard time understanding why Lew moves so slowly when the science and the evidence (and my arguments) have pretty much eliminated the Cosmopolitan libertinism of the diasporic people being applied to land holding capital creating warrior aristocracy that DOES produce liberty.

    I mean, I live here in Eastern Europe where their ideology comes from. And it’s just like the Icelandic or Wild West fallacies: you have freedom only because there are no near competitors AND your territory is ruled and owed by a major power that merely wants some tribute for defending it.

    In most cases, government is lax in frontiers for the simple reason that they want you to bear all the costs of living there, and if you’re there it gives them moral authority to stop others from conquering and possessing the territory without a fight.

    Eastern Europe was a ghetto. Just a very big, very poor one. A polish, a lithuanian, an austrian, and a russian ghetto. That’s all it ever was.

    Ergo ghetto ethics only apply in the ghetto.

    You might notice that the Crusoe’s Island arguments use the sea as the walls of the ghetto.

    But in real life, in reality, ghettos exist by permission. Ergo. One does not have liberty in a ghetto one merely has permission. Crusoe lives at the will of the sea just as ghettos live at the will of the ruling state.

    ROTHBARDIANISM IS DEAD

    There is only one source of liberty: the point of a knife, the tip of a spear, the shaft of an arrow, the barrel of a rifle, the shells of a gun, the velocity of a bomb.

    Liberty is constructed through violence and violence alone. All else is but permission.

    (Repost. Oldie but goodie)

    1) Fiat Money(1) The operating principle behind fiat money is to require taxes be paid using it. This creates a demand for the fiat money that cannot be satisfied without widespread trade that makes use of it, or is conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the money needed to pay the taxes.

    2) Fiat Money(2) The second evolution of fiat money is to legislate that the fiat money be accepted for all debts public and private. This effectively creates a discounted market for fiat money that gives it a competitive advantage against other currencies. In turn this allows the state or government to purchase goods and services at a discount by printing money to do so, and then distributing that discount across all holders of money and assets. We call this inflation or credit expansion depending upon how it’s accomplished.

    3) Fiat Money(3)The third evolution of fiat money is to legislate that the fiat money be the ONLY, accepted currency for the payment of debts public and private. This further expands the discount that the state can use to increase purchases of goods and services while distributing the increased costs across all money and asset holders by increasing the amount of money by printing additional money or expanding credit.

    4) Fiat Money(4)The fourth evolution of fiat money is to legislate the elimination of all currency in favor of electronic records, the purpose of which is to eliminate the tax evasion rampant in any cash economy, and therefore to increase the government’s income from it’s least wealthy citizens.

    5) Fiat Money(5) The fifth evolution of fiat money is electronic redistribution of gains from productive efforts, and the elimination of the ability to save, thus creating a monetary slave economy of total dependence that is no different from the totalitarian feudalism of the pharaohs and the early Mesopotamian states.

    Freedom consists in money, property, and the common law under a written constitution that protects money and property and the common law. The only government any population requires is a constitution and the common law, and a body of judges who resolve disputes according to that constitution and common law. Everything else can be privatized, and should be.

    Given that we know that even the very stupid fool, the well meaning ignorant, well intentioned educated, the messianic, sociopathic, and psychopathic, do not always know that they are in fact doing ill, or even if doing evil, then how do any of us know we are good or evil?

    In my mind I try to do good. But how do we know?

    According to Montaigne, we never know we have lived a good life until the moment we die – since we can reverse it with a single action. Worse, he argues that we are most often criticized for the unintended consequences of our moral ambitions, but rarely for those evils we intend. Worse yet, the greater ambition you attempt the more spectacular can be the failure. (The Nazis, Napoleon and the Bolsheviks the most obvious examples.)

    I take bigger risks. most of them work. some of them don’t.

    How does one know?

    We cannot trust the opinions of others. We cannot trust our own opinions. How do we know?
