    Eric brings up an important topic and that is that revolutionaries and soldiers, and revolution and combined arms warfare have little to do with each other.

    You already hold the territory

    Your objective is not to concentrate forces but to act randomly.

    Your cost of territorial possession is zero.

    Your timetable is long.

    Your strategy is attrition.

    Your preferred weapon is fire.

    Your targets are all soft.

    You need little command and control.

    You need no supply lines.

    @voxdotcom The west was not great because of its ideals, but because of plentiful hanging, manorial limits on reproduction, culling by war.

  • Violence is the Resource from Which Institutions of Property are Constructed.

    **[W]e must use violence to create the conceptual, normative, legal, and territorial institutions of property. If we do not possess sufficient violence then we cannot maintain the conceptual, normative, legal, and territorial institutions of property. Therefore the only institutions of property that can exist are the institutions of property we can construct and maintain by the organized application of violence. Violence is the resource from which the institutions of property are constructed.** (Notice how I made sure I stated how everything exists. As institutions: ideas, habits, rules and processes, territory.)

  • Have we made a catastrophic mistake with our democratic monopoly?

    [H]ave we made a catastrophic mistake? Why have we forced all into individualism instead of separated the individualistic from the collectivist? Why must we have either a communist or capitalist order? Must we have a monopoly social democratic order? If we arose under a mix of martial, burgher, and church orders, then why was that model a failure? It wasn’t. It wasn’t a failure. The middle class allied with the lower class against the church and nobility after the thirty years war and while deserving enfranchisement, demonstrated hubris in the displacement of church and state. Forcing man into the absolute nuclear family, forcing man to move to capital. Forcing man into monopoly social orders. All of this force is not that of the past that made us successful. I understand the need for a market for commons. But what shall we do with the equivalent of the manor, market, military, and monastery when the great leap of the industrial revolution has passed?

  • Men Will Follow Rational Incentives – Women Not So.

    (by Eli Harman) [V]oting either directs violence, or it is a substitute for violence. But the actual violence, supplied to carry the vote into effect, will be supplied by men. And the potential violence, which may prevent the vote being carried into effect, will be *not supplied* by men. Therefore, women are utterly superfluous to the whole process. Voting, for them, is just a source of windfall boons, of unearned rents, which they could in no other way obtain for themselves. When allowing women to participate in voting becomes too costly (and I would argue it already has, most just haven’t realized it yet) then it will no longer be in the interests of men to supply the violence to carry votes into effect, or refrain from supplying violence to prevent them being carried into effect. And we’ll start doing something else. If we don’t, women will consume and destroy everything. Their wishful thinking recognizes and imposes no limits upon itself.

    A constitution of liberty merely constitutes a threat of violence if violated. The words hold no force. The men who threaten do. #NewRight

    You are only free when you have the ability to deny all others any of the possible alternatives. Liberty Originates in Violence. #NewRight
