    Every single thing you pay for by either action, inaction,or forgone opportunity for discount or gain: obeying manners, ethics, morals, laws, norms, traditions, paying taxes, common property in all its forms (territory, resources, infrastructure, buildings, monuments), maintaining your, your neighbor’s, and local and national common property in all its forms, acts of charity (by your own hand and own money), acts of voluntary and military service.

    Anything that isn’t privately owned, by individual partnership, or corporation, but creates an asset for the members of the polity.

    —“The parts of the country that are the most liberal are pulling the least weight with regard to military service. This has exponential effects, in that over time, as liberals do not take part in military service, the military becomes more conservative not through any movivated action of corruption by conservatives, but to liberals as a group electing not to serve, a fact which makes many, many conservatives very bitter to this day.”—

    —“…most of the people in the military still come from lower middle and working class homes, and primarily from small towns. This is not to mention a major portion of the military coming from the the South with an awkward silence from wealthy New England states and the Midwest.”—

    As I have said, the difference is largely in the scale of commons that one defends, and that commons is the inverse of population density.

    What this map doesn’t tell you directly, is that the military is predominantly anglo-scotts-irish and that the germans do not serve in proportion to their territorial power. Which is not what you’d expect. But it’s true.

    **Most of the military comes from lower middle and working class homes, and primarily from small towns.**

    (The people I feel are underserved, yet most moral of all.)

    This is where one ‘recruits’ the revolution.MILITARY SERVICE: INVESTMENT IN THE COMMONS VS PARASITISM UPON IT

    NORWAY

    —“Norway’s modern manufacturing and welfare system rely on a financial reserve produced by exploitation of natural resources, particularly North Sea oil.”—

    Look. I have a non-trivial understanding of economics. Norway is the Scandinavian version of Dubai. The Dubai has 4 billion barrels and Norway has 5.5 billion barrels in reserve. Just like Dubai can operate on a resource economy, Norway can. For exactly the same reasons.

    —“Forty years of oil and gas production has produced values of $1.2 trillion for Norway and the petroleum sector accounts for 22% of Norway’s GDP. The petroleum industry has enabled one of the most extensive welfare systems in the world, with free public health care and generous disability and unemployment benefits. To provide a buffer when the petroleum revenues decrease the Government Pension Fund was established in 1990 and its current value is over $500 billion. The so-called spending rule, made effective in 2001, states that only the real returns of the fund (estimated to be 4% per annum) should be spent in the national budget, thus saving oil wealth for future generations.”—

    At current rates of consumption Norway has (optimistically) 24 years of oil production left. In other words, one new generation. After that it will dwindle. We can expect Norway to incrementally tighten r

    Dubai is investing in becoming the arab world’s switzerland, and norway is investing in fulfilling the scandinavian utopia. While dubai’s objective is sustainable, norway’s is not.

    Norway is not repeatable any more than Dubai is repeatable. And norway will change rapidly in the foreseeable future because of it.

    That’s the answer.

    YOU CAN’T DO SOCIALISM (FOR LONG).

    In the end it destroys everything. Corruption and black markets, Incentives to produce most importantly, prices and calculation and the impossibility of organizing production, and knowledge. Just can’t be done. It can be done in a few industries. But there is no escape from market forces any more than there is from gravity.

    Eugenicists were right. There is only one route to permanent prosperity and that is the reduction of the unproductive classes. The bottom is 6x more damaging than the top is productive. and in an evenly rotating economy (no major asymmetries of technology) which the world is approaching, the size of the underclasses will determine the level of poverty.
