    Any description of any political system must include a population model, an economic model, a commons producing model. If you can’t state all three of those, then you aren’t stating anything that makes any sense at all.

  • “I understood Fascism to be the pairing of individualism and collectivism: agree

    —“I understood Fascism to be the pairing of individualism and collectivism: agreeing we all have to work together, that individualism can exist, and the best way to ensure collective protection, is to safely incentivize individual advancement. …. That means when individual stuff hurts the collective it is not allowed, such as rampant degeneracy, and when collective stuff hurts the individual it is not allowed either such as absurdly high taxes. ….. To put it in brainlet terms.”— Collin Turney

    In property in toto, we may not impose costs upon commons directly or indirectly. And the rewards of such cooperation are redistributed as commons.

    Words

    Warfare

    When words absolutely stop being effective. When reason stops swaying people. When basic moral principles cannot be argued for to the masses. When basic reality becomes “hate”. When the unreasonable (that can never be reasoned with) vastly outnumber the reasonable. When you have huge portions of the pupulace demanding for their own enslavement and believing they are noble for doing so.

  • SOVEREIGNTY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM, AND MARKETS FOR SURVIVAL OF A POLITY Sovereignty

    SOVEREIGNTY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM, AND MARKETS FOR SURVIVAL OF A POLITY

    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).

    @curtdoolittle I searched your site & didn’t find anything related. Most discussions of externalities are at least tangentially prefaced with a description of the Coase theorem & its limitations. I’m interested in how you (or another propertarian) would approach the problem.

    I think we have known for millennia that the optimum polity size is that of a small city, but that the cost of financing war either offensive(france) or defensive (germany) or the suppression of local rents (all empires) or opportunism(athens,london,usa) provides malincentives.
