    SOVEREIGNTY VS LIBERTY VS FREEDOM

    Sovereignty in fact – because a group has enough capacity for violence to produce sovereignty over the will or ability of any and all competitors.

    Liberty by request – because a group does not have enough capacity for violence to produce sovereignty, but can purchase liberty with fees (taxes).

    Freedom by permission – because an individual has too little violence to produce sovereignty, and too little violence to request liberty, but can purchase freedom through non-interference and payment of fees (taxes).

    Sovereignty is produced as a commons(Polity/Executive).

    Liberty is produced as a commons(Business/Managerial).

    Freedom is given to produce commons (Trades/Labor).

    Serfdom is imposed to produce commons at cost(Labor).

    Slavery is imposed to produce commons at high cost(labor).

    Whether one demonstrates a condition of Sovereignty(Aristocracy: Polity/Territory), Liberty(Citizen : capital), or freedom (Freeman: body), the production of such must be constructed top down: from commons to degree of property ownership (responsibility) since while it is most productive to have the greatest distribution of property, it is also most productive to limit the distribution of property to those who produce commons.

    Since productivity determines the ability for a polity to compete for sovereignty and territory the distribution of property therefore productivity and responsibility is determined by competitive necessity versus the abilities of the population.

    Hence the need for growth to defeat the red queen of technology and productivity, against men, and to defeat the red queen of evolution (or devolution, or extinction).

    TWO MEANINGS OF ABSOLUTISM: ONE GOOD, ONE BAD.

    1) The form of government must be flexible enough to account for ordinary times ( rule of law, judicial monarchy, and markets), endure warfare (fascism), and distribute windfalls ( participatory commons selection ) – although the latter is always questionably necessary unless sufficient to shift classes.

    2) When one says “Absolutism” in government, one can refer to total discretion in the administration of state and production of commons but remaining under rule of law. Otherwise it just means ‘dictatorship’.

    3) When one says “absolutism” in rule of law, and therefore morality and ethics, this is my position on the natural law of reciprocity. In that it is an exceptionless rule. And therefore a case of “Absolutism”. In other words “Natural Law of Reciprocity = White Sharia = Absolutism”.

    For reasons that are strange if you think about it, westerners have no concept of absolutism because in the west, truth is always beyond our grasp and markets are our means of decision making between sovereigns. (Assuming you’re from the martial/craftsman/property owner rather than priestly or peasant classes).

    Well, the purpose of sharing that person’s quote was to attract discussion. I was trying to inspire people to note that small government with comparatively trivial consumption of GDP, and produce vast redistributive commons, under the right economic and demographic conditions. 😉

    @curtdoolittle This is rather ungenerous to the Cantonese population. They have many excellent qualities, including whining less than any other people on earth.

  • Rings of Influence,

    Bill Joslin A model for this could be described as concentric rings of influence, centering on the individual and radiating out into the commons based on which domain one acts as judge-of-last-resort. Am I judge-of-last-resort for my mind (clarity of intention) Am I judge-of-last-resort for my body (voluntary intentional action) Am I judge-of-last-resort for my household (do I direct my domestic life) Am I judge-of-last-resort for my livelihood (do I direct my means of survival) Am I judge-of-last-resort which secures (ensures) my property-en-toto Am I judge-of-last-resort in the intergenerational shared commons (do I direct my place in history) For each of those questions, if there is another person to which you are beholden then the answer is no. Everyman a king of his household Everyman a rifleman Everyman a sheriff Everyman a judge ….in opportunity only, secured by demonstrations of ability. Cult of non-submission – cultivation of autonomy

  • Don’t congratulate yourself on circumstance.

    Let me help you both: 1) We produce the social orders we can afford to produce. 2) We have the values we can afford to have in that social order. 3) We have the social orders and values that our demographics allow us to have. It’s physics and economics. Don’t congratulate yourself on circumstance.

    —“President Obama set a record for the most commutations in history, his total of 212 pardons was well below that of many of his predecessors. Bill Clinton issued 396 pardons, Ronald Reagan 393, and the all-time record goes to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who issued 2,819 pardons during his 12 years (not 16) in office. George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush were the only presidents of the modern era who issued fewer pardons than Barack Obama.”—
