  • Liberty Must Be Imposed by Force

    LIBERTY (FREEDOM FROM PARASITISM) MUST BE IMPOSED BY FORCE, BUT LIBERTY NEED NOT BE UNIVERSALLY REQUIRED: A MONOPOLY IS NOT NECESSARY. [L]iberty is the desire of those who are able.  Security the desire of those who are not. And parasitism is the desire of those who are evil. While strict construction of agreements, and the decidability of conflicts are impossible without a monopoly of individual property rights to property-en-toto, there is no reason for a monopoly means of producing commons using those rights.

    There is no reason some individuals cannot form collectives and ostracize libertarians and no reason libertarians cannot form collective and ostracize communalists. There is no reason some cannot participate in socialist groups and others libertarian groups – as long as rule of law under property-en-toto, and the total prohibition on parasitism exists as a means of providing for strict construction of agreements, and decidability in conflicts. We know what bad is: parasitism. But good is dependent upon your abilities. Curt Doolittle The Philosophy of Aristocracy The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine (Tallinn, Estonia)

    LIBERTY IS IMPOSED BY FORCE BY ARISTOCRACY

    —“A philosophy intended to increase “freedom” finds grounds for its truest expression only in societies dominated by well entrenched aristocracies [because] the appreciation of the network of exchanges contributing to the formation of “the commons” (the regulation of which is essential to the maintenance of free markets for goods and services) is only within the purview of the cognitive elite.

    Bankers, industrialists, merchants, artists, laborers and the underclass, can and will abuse collective goods for their own personal aggrandisement or from their own ignorance and indolence.

    [This means that] libertarian society can only be imposed by [Aristocratic] Totalitarianism. [Meaning that] a philosophy dominated by concepts of market principles can only function systematically if the exchange of violence and rhetoric can also be subsumed within its paradigm.

    As an aside, an effective aristocracy (or fascist state) must coordinate with a priest class in order to convert the analytical and synthetic thinking of the elites to analogical thinking for mass consumption, that is how you bridge the is-ought gap.”— Eric Orwoll

  • The Destroyers of Truth and Trust

    —“That’s where the Politically Correct -shaming comes in. Making sure those that are not susceptible to lies are still brought under control by fear of social ostracism, loss of loved ones, deprivation of income and so on. The [progressives] are bastards, make even acknowledging the truth very expensive. “— James Santagata

    [T]hey destroy truth to destroy trust, to create demand for authoritarianism in order to resolve conflicts, that could be resolved by truth, and as a consequence to organize society according to their will.

  • Duelling?

    —“What’s the relationship between truth-telling and dueling? Is it because you should only say something you believe to the extent that you’re willing to fight for it?”— Great question. It’s actually two different issues. You impose a cost on someone else’s reputation at the peril of your life. Especially after guns were invented. They are a great equaliser. If you speak truthfully and it imposes a restitution then that is a moral obligation to your fellow citizens. If you speak the truth in general then that is a cost to you but it is the cost of entry into the informational commons just as respect for property is a cost you must bear for entry into the market. The purpose of judicial combat was to create time to cool off and apologize, and negotiate a settlement rather than put noble families in feud. The duel degenerated into sanctioned murder. The problem is preventing duel by construction (murder). That requires a third party to judge the restitution for the insult.
