The difference is the monarchy and the traditional government, with extremely limited (and strict) constraints on the government, and liability for anyone who serves in government. —“I haven’t really seen how a future Propertarian government would anoint their ruler.”– Its because aside from monarchy, I simply list the choices of government and leadership available, and tell people to make the choice most relative for their population and its demographics. In other words, it’s under rule of law the means of producing commons (‘ruler’) varies by condition (war, normalcy, windfalls), size of the population (small, medium, large), and the demographics (high quality, medium, low quality) . That said everything else is the same. —” is Propertarianism traditionalist Libertarianism with teeth and logic? And an emphasis on spiritualism and identity?”– It’s the western tradition of sovereign men, updated to be pessimistic about the left.

(FB 1545532558 Timestamp) THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIBERTY AND SOVEREIGNTY —“Are you a conservative or a libertarian?”– Well, technically I’m a “Sovereigntarian”. One has liberty by permission. One has Sovereignty because he and his allies possess a quality and quantity of violence to deny any and all alternatives to sovereignty and rule of the common law of tort. Jewish Libertarians (common property marxists), Anglo Libertarians (anglo saxon rule of law, with economic tolerance), conservatives (rule of law with normative intolerance). I’m pretty Jeffersonian in my world view and pretty much a Tory in my understanding of government, and particularly tripartite government: Monarchy and Nobility for war and rule, Burghers for the commons, with the Church responsible for Labor and Family. It has been our tradition since we invented western civilization 4000-3500 years ago. And has remained constant across every era of recorded history. However, as a conservative I am UNABASHEDLY a eugenicist, and it is the failure to openly discuss the success of western civilization due to the organization of the polity to produce eugenic evolution and thereby the continuous production of agency. So cognitively jeffersonian makes me libertarian, politically a tory makes me conservative, and honestly about the eugenic basis of our success makes me ultra-conservative. Curt

Teaching an academic occupation. You get a priest, communist, or politician in that distribution ANYWHERE then you’re people are being deceived.

(FB 1546102610 Timestamp) JOSLIN ON CONTINUING THE LONGEST RUNNING SYSTEM OF MODERN GOVERNMENT by Bill Joslin I have an admission, a confession… I still, after all these years, see classical liberalism and the anglo-enlightenment as a shining jewel in history; rare and valuable. But it was flawed. The flaw pertains to reifying critical concepts of its success into universal ideals. Namely equality (ideal) out of isonomy (realz), tolerance as an ideal versus tolerance of trivial and arbitrary differences (the real). Now I don’t see that these were critical flaws but rather a result of kinship and common sense being embedded in a long history of social norms of a homogeneous polity. They, at the time, didn’t need explicit statements on the limits to these concepts because they were “self-evident” and taken for granted within the normative domain. Overtime, what was taken for granted was forgotten, and Christian sentiment of universal love blew these operational necessities out of reality and into civic ideals. I would find much joy in holding this centrist stance, but in good faith cannot. I cannot because kin-selection backfilles for these flaws (homogeneity in the founding cultures) and paints a scene of future failure (universal franchise pushes kin-interests into the polictical sphere i.e. loss of unity in the polity). Civic values can provide that homogeneity but will always be vulnerable to lower resolution means (biology, ethnicity, race) We can correct CL, IMO. We can correct the errors. This line of development would put us toward the middle. Completing the enlightenment – which is really what we are doing. But we can’t do that without addressing identity and identity properties (kinship). Which right now puts us at the edge of the fringe. (The flaws currently poked at CL are not what CL was in its initial incarnations but rather what the romantics did to CL after they became the agenda setters in the 19th century)
