  • East Asia tries NOT to make their society politically active

    October 19th, 2018 10:24 AM

    —“No human society has perfected the organization of the government. What East Asia tries to do is to NOT make their society politically active. This means that they focus on their lives rather than protesting on the streets, and on discussing things that most people have no clue about. I feel more free in East Asia than anywhere else in the world. My view is that lack of political freedom under benign dictator is among the best forms of government (assuming we must have one).”—Jayant Bhandari

  • China Has Succeeded with National Socialism

    October 19th, 2018 10:11 AM CHINA HAS SUCCEEDED WITH NATIONAL SOCIALISM(I’m gonna ride this wave for a bit) [S]tate Capitalism with zero tolerance for opposition is simply National Socialism – something that the intelligentsia (“The Commentariat of the Proletariat”) will have a hard time swallowing. It’s as important as the NPC meme. All states are turning to fascism (intolerant nationalism), and mixed economies, with the state investing in core industries, using fiat money (shares in the economy) as a money substitute, and therefore a means of providing incentive (pull) rather than direction (push). THE NAZIS WON – No one is yet willing to admit it.

  • War Over Scripts

    October 18th, 2018 5:30 PM WAR OVER SCRIPTS by John Mark [T]he culture war is the battle over whose scripts control the most NPCs. NPCs lean mostly left because the lies feel better. The Right has a built-in disadvantage in the culture war. On top of that, the Right-wing NPCs (“No more illegals but yay legal nonwhite immigrants bcuz I don’t want to be wacist!”) actively support invasion of millions of enemy NPCs every year. Thus we cannot win back America by winning the culture war. Give us 20 years with no immigration, maybe. But because of immigration we don’t have the time. So we separate.

  • Simple But Deep: China

Lee Kwan Yu once said there are two reasons for Asia’s economic success: state capitalism and the US Navy. Asia can’t go to war as long as the US Navy patrols the Pacific and South China Sea. And, of course, the trade routes are open. –by Sean Ring

  • Is the Alt Right Socialist?

    October 19th, 2018 9:44 AM IS THE ALT RIGHT SOCIALIST? (A Response to Jeff Tucker) 1) The alt right chooses nationalism (the optimum group evolutionary strategy) over globalism (the worst possible group evolutionary strategy for sovereign peoples). 2) The alt right claims (correctly) that (under nationalism) the debate is not between capitalism and socialism since all extant and all SURVIVABLE polities are and must be mixed economies – but between (a) rule of law, vs. arbitrary rule, and (b) unlimited trade that allows costs imposed upon the polity by externality, vs limits to trade that prohibits costs upon the polity by externality. This is because lower prices that are obtained in exchange for the spectrum of losses to capital including human capital are not in fact lower prices, but involuntary transfers by indirection. 3) The alt right claims (correctly) that the returns on Commons (capital accumulation) are higher than the returns on consumption for the purpose of signaling. Libertarians must choose if they are Globalists and Dysgenicists and Destroyers of capital in exchange for consumption, or Nationalists and Eugenicists, and creators of capital by investment in commons. Libertarianism is unmasked: Jewish (rothbardian) Diasporic Globalist Dysgenic Capitalism (capital accumulation in separatists), or European Nationalist Eugenic, Mixed Economy (capital accumulation in commons). The west outpaced the rest by the simple but profoundly expensive strategy of producing commons, including the commons of trust, truth, rule of law, reciprocity, and the suppression of ir-reciprocity by externality, thereby creating a condition of ‘morality’. There is a reason why large companies are in protestant (Hajnal Line) states: trust. There is a reason low trust polities do not produce large companies.
