    FROM THE AUSTRALIAN LEFT WING: (Learn Something)

    FOR SOCIALISM AND DEMOCRACY

    April 17th, 2018 by John Quiggin

    —“As I mentioned a while ago, in the years that I’ve been blogging, I’ve described my political perspective as “social-democratic”. In earlier years, I mostly used “democratic socialist”.

    My reason for the switch was that, in a market liberal/neoliberal era, the term “socialist” had become a statement of aspiration without any concrete meaning or any serious prospect of realisation. By contrast, “social democracy” represented the Keynesian welfare state I was defending against market liberal “reform”.

    In the decade since the Global Financial Crisis, things have changed. Socialism still describes an aspiration, rather than a concrete political program, but an aspiration to a better society is what we need now as a positive response to the evident failure of neoliberalism.

    On the other side of the ledger, nominally social democratic parties nearly all failed the test of the crisis, accepting to a greater or lesser degree to the politics of austerity. Some, like PASOK in Greece, have paid the price in full. Others, like Labor in Australia, are finally showing some spine. In practice, though, social democracy has come to stand, at best, for technocratic managerialism, and at worst for capitulation to the demands of financial capital.

    So, I’ve changed the description of this blog’s perspective to socialist. I haven’t however, adopted the formulation “democratic socialist” which was used, in the 20th century, to emphasise a rejection of the Stalinist claim to have produced “actually existing socialism” in the Soviet Union and elsewhere. That’s no longer necessary.”—

    REPLY by CURT DOOLITTLE:

    As has been true for most of the history of the modern world, the only serious threat to democracy is now coming from the right. So, it’s important to defend democracy as well as advancing the case for socialism.

    So you’re a democratic (monopoly majoritarian), socialist (discretionary authoritarian rule) independent of (in conflict with) rule of law (non-discretionary rule), because you sponsor reproductive redistribution (dysgenics) despite regression to the polity mean, rather than reproductive meritocracy (eugenics) which circumvents regression to the mean, despite the rather obvious fact, that we can only choose between high trust highly redistributive small homogenous kin state (eugenics – europe), and large, low trust, corrupt, authoritarian heterogeneous polities (india, south america, southeast asia, and the muslim world).

    And you do this in a world where technological, institutional, and geographic advantages are no longer competitive, and the principle difference between the wealth of groups (peoples, nations, countries, states) is demographic (eugenic vs dysgenic) and normative (the result of genetics) – and you do this without accounting for (and therefore cherry picking) the cumulative cost of that dysgenia (primarily intelligence, personality traits, and rates of reproductive maturity).

    That just means you’re not a scientist, but a priest or philosopher driving your people to destruction, dark age, and despair as a means of escaping the near term cost of policing the most important capital humans have ever developed by the simple act of reproductive and migratory intolerance.

    I mean. You really can’t get around it. That’s just what you’re doing. And you’re doing it for virtue signals from others, and yourself. It’s unearned virtue signaling, because it’s not creating any intertemporal capital – just consuming an inheritance you had nothing to do with producing.

    We dragged the peasantry out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, starvation, hard labor, child mortality, early death, disease, the heat, the cold, and the vicissitudes of nature by consumer capitalism. That you (foolishly) attempted to construct extractions via non market activity (state, union, rebellion) against your own interests is merely evidence of your origins in the peasantry who cannot comprehend that their associative, reproductive, cooperative, commons, political, and military market value to those who we have so delivered from suffering, is near zero.

    Virtue signaling and status climbing is what it is: admission of the cumulative failure of you and your ancestors to improve your inventory (ability), and you seek (quite unintentionally that is) to lower your betters (who are rewarded demonstrably for their service of others) to your level, because you will not (as is your inheritance) pay the high personal price of self, family, and kin reform.

    The pseudoscientific era is done. The data is in. Marx, Freud, Boaz, Cantor, Adorno (and co.), and the french (postmodernists) provided a comforting fiction to retaliate against Maxwell, Poincare, Darwin, Spencer, and Nietzsche. Fictionalisms are cheap (pseudoscience, pseudo-rationalism, pseudo-historicism).

    You can lie for a while, and do it cheaply, but science eventually makes its case: in the nature nurture debate, nurture can only go wrong. It can’t improve. Because 80% of everything, including your moral intuitions, and the reason you make your arguments, the result of your genetic inheritance, and your learning to negotiate (quite unconsciously) on its behalf. The problem is – you are the problem.

    https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/985897184389468166TALEB’S “SHODDY TAGGING PRACTICES”

    (from taleb via @[1102637653:2048:Moritz Bierling])

    The idea is to find simple but effective words to counter accusatory propaganda, without having to spent time explaining a point; rather turning the tables by becoming the accuser.

    BIGOTEERING (big-oh-teer’-ing

    ——————————-

    Bigoteering: Originates with Tim Ferris, describes tagging someone (or someone’s opinions) as “racist”, “chauvinist” or something-like-it-ist in situations where these are not warranted.

    This is a shoddy manipulation to exploit the stigmas accompanying such labels and force the opponent to spent time and energy explaining “why he/she is not a bigot”.

    Example: Both the Kurds who are asking for independence and the Arabs who refuse to grant it accuse one another of “racism”.

    NABOTHIZING (nah’-bauth-eye-zing)

    ————————————

    Nabothizing: Production of false accusation, just as Jezebel did to dispossess Naboth.

    In many legal systems calumnies and false accusation is punished as if the accuser committed the infraction itself.

    In combination with bigoteering: such a false accusation of bigotry, particularly if the accuser knows it is not the case, should cause a penalty to the bigoteer as if he/she were bigots.

    Note that it was the original meaning of the Greek word sycophant before drifting in the English language.

    PEDOPHRASTY (ped’-oh-frast-ee)

    ———————————-

    Pedophrasty : Sensationalism involving children, particularly in pictures, to prop up an argument and make the opponent look like an asshole, as people are defenseless and suspend all skepticism in front of suffering children: nobody has the heart to question the authenticity or source of the reporting.

    Can also describe the exploitation of babies by beggars who rent them from their parents.

    PARTIALIZING (par’-shull-eye-zing)

    ———————————–

    Partializing [TEMPORARY LABEL]: Exploiting the unsavory attributes of one party in a conflict without revealing those of the other party . Example: “He is a dictator”.

    The problem can take absurd proportions: in the Syrian War, was used by interventionistas describing the “dictator” without mentioning that his opponents are Al-Qaeda head-cutters.

  • Let’s Not Fall for Jewish Propaganda

    Any people with wealth will buy trinkets. Any people with wealth can participate in the luxury of the arts. Any people can produce gossip, ridicule, moral hazard, and gossip. Any people who work at it can produce propaganda. The question is, how many people raise humanity out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, starvation, hard labor, child mortality, early death, disease, suffering, the vicissitudes of nature, and a universe hostile to life?
    How did western people do that in a few hundred years in the ancient world, and a few hundred years in the modern, while all of humanity slowly stumbled along? Why is it that the jews, the most literate people in europe, a people who claim such success, did nothing, accomplished nothing, until we nearly forcibly converted them to rule of law and aristotelianism, kicking and screaming against us all the while? I have no problem in respecting people’s traditions, but if anything they have done more harm to humanity with their adoption of the female technique of creating moral hazard, backed by disapproval, shaming, ridicule, gossip, rallying, propagandizing, and its near industrialization in every form. In other words, the technique of undermining the moral order of every civilization that hosts them. So lets be a little more honest in our understanding of history, and not fall into more propaganda and hazard creation. Socrates, Aristotle, Archimedes and Zeno created the world we live in. They, on the other hand, created the industrialization of the most catastrophic deception that has ever existed on this earth: pilpul, justificationism, fictionalism, and the art of profiting from destroying a people through undermining their trust in one another. They have been the most destructive people in human history and are the antithesis of greek thought, and roman moral universalism, resulting a nearly a billion dead, the dark ages, and the near repeat of their cause of the dark ages in the modern world?
    So, before anyone gets too self congratulatory let’s be a little more scientific in our analysis. Almost every good in human existence is due to the southern movement of corded ware peoples into greece, and the development of the hierarchy of math, logic, idealism, rational philosophy, proto-science, and aristotelianism, and it’s conversion into stoicism, empirical administration, and roman law by the romans. Every other discovery or addition is trivial by comparison and I’m happy to argue everything from persian astrology to arabic numerals to chinese paper, to indian steel. Wealthy peoples will eventually develop many technologies by trial and error, and will converge on techniques, but no other people invented reason – none, and no other people created adaptive market civilizations and rule of law because of it. SEQUENCE OF HISTORY The greeks invented idealism. The Rabbis adopted it. This is the beginning of rabbinical judaism. They Rabbis Combined Pilpul (justificationism that we see in numerology, astrology, and religious interpretation), Idealism, and mythology (invented to justify claiming ownership of lands upon persian retreat), to create their poly-ethical (‘immoral’) law. The genetic advantage of the Jews originated in that they began with north african (semitic) levels of aggression and tribalism (do the research since the aggression gradient radiates out of the red sea), they have been through multiple population bottlenecks, and then rebuilt populations from very small numbers (possibly only in the hundreds), then funded the reproduction of their smartest, practiced serial marriage, and outcast anyone unable to master the traditions. Rabbinical breeding (small variations in top performer family size) in a small population will produce eugenic effects (at the high cost of genetic diseases) far faster than the average person understands. Contra select for verbal acuity in their males produced transfer of gender dimorphism resulting in transfer of female verbal ability to males, at the cost of well known but impolitic problems in the male genome. (This research is very difficult to assemble for obvious postwar reasons but it’s obvious to the dedicated.) However, the claims of jewish contribution are false – it’s precisely the opposite. In fact, prior to Einstein it’s hard to find anything, which is why his brand is protected so aggressively. The jews invented the cause of the dark ages: Abrahamism, that lost them their territory by underinvestment in commons, doomed them to that medieval condition and near extermination, destroyed the western aristocracy of the ancient world, and gave islam its methodology, with which islam destroyed the four great civilizations of the ancient world by conquest and consumption, killed half a billion or more people, and by 1200 had caused intellectuals under muslim rule to flee to the west – thankfully returning scraps of greek knowledge that the christians and muslims had all but extinguished by burning, or closing the greek and roman schools. (I specialize in the means of deception we call ‘abrahamism’ which is the use of (european) human vulnerability to optimistic suggestion to create and then exploit moral hazards. We created a low clannish, low tribal, outbred, high trust civilization – and the only one other than the Japanese – but we are vulnerable because of that trust. (We do not know if it’s genetic or not yet.) The jews, despite being the most literate people in europe contributed absolutely nothing to civilization – at all. No arts, no monuments, no sciences, no letters, and by the time they were liberated, were so internally superstitious that they were considered mentally incompetent by the end of the 19th c. (Do the research.) They medieval jews specialized in moral hazards that ‘good christians’ would not participate in: (a) moneylending to the poor then exploiting their dependence, (b) tax collection particularly in borderlands and questionable returns to the state, (c) using a+b to obtain property with which to extract rents. This resulted universally in the peasants (farmers and craftsmen) taking every opportunity to exterminate the jews, particularly during the plague era. In the modern world jews were responsible for the counter-scientific revolution that included boasian pseudoscientific anthropology, marxism’s pseudoscientific economics and sociology, the pseudoscience of authoritarianism we call psychology and the means of shaming and ridicule we call ‘psychologizing’, the re-platonizing of mathematics through cantorian sets, the organized ridicule, shaming, and degradation of the representational, heroic, mythical, and romantic arts (modern art), disproportionately responsible for the soviet catastrophe, the membership in the secret police, and consequential genocides, and the near repeat of their destruction of the great civilizations of the ancient world, through their advocacy of the calamity of socialism and communism. Worse has been the use of favoritism and funding to stack universities yet the systematic legal prosecution of western continuation of the same habit (a violation of reciprocity), their systemic attack on the vulnerability of our constitutional solution to the judiciary that allows the court to render judgements rather than return decisions to congress, by the intentional, well funded, selective prosecution of cases that force the court to legislate from the bench. Their funding and support for the 1964 immigration act by which they hoped to import underclasses to achieve through immigration that which had not been achievable by marxist revolution, socialist economics, frankfurt school ‘pseudo history’. Today we still see jews dominating industries that profit from moral hazard and eschew all responsibility for warranty of consequences, by incremental destruction of our high trust norms: Entertainment, Media, Propaganda, Gossip, Pornography, Finance, Rent seeking, Academy, and Law. Whatever people claim we can judge the quality of their character by the industries they occupy: those which products are warrantied and those which are not. As sowell said, our elites today are ‘articulate and full of promise’ bu but the evidence is that those articulate elites are not only short on delivery, but have resulted in the total absence of an increase in productivity in the american economy since the 1970’s. There are few economists that can hold this discussion with me but the reason that we have not gained in income and productivity is because of the policies that have been extremely destructive to the rest of the world, have been simply harder to implement here. If we imposed the same warranty of due diligence we require of products and services on academic, political and economic speech those occupations filled with articulate people promising impossibilities in order to create and profit from moral hazard would be vacated and our civilization restored to its prior productivity progress and order.
