  • The Only Means Of Eliminating The State And Constructing Liberty

    (north sea libertarian liberty)

    [T]he only way to eliminate the state, is to eliminate demand for the state. To eliminate demand for the state, we must construct institutions that provide the services of the state, without the free riding endemic to the state.

    The state provides just these services:
    …1) an allocation of property and property rights, and means of transfer.
    …2) a means of resolving all differences that lead to conflict.
    …3) a means of constructing and protecting commons from free riding.
    …4) a means of exclusion of competing allocations, means of resolution, means of construction.

    The only means of providing these services without the state, is to construct institutions that do not require a state.
    …1) the law of non-parasitism positively expressed as Property-en-Toto, the common organic law, an independent professional judiciary RATHER THAN an independent professional bureaucracy. ie: the fourth wave.
    …2) a market for commons consisting of houses of common interest in the commons, in which non-monopoly contracts are negotiated for the construction of commons.
    …3) a universal (or near universal ) militia, caretaking, emergency and rescue, in order to participate in the market for commons – participation must be earned, even if protection from parasitism need not be.

    A bureaucratic state then, is an evidence of the failure to construct institutions necessary for the provision of services that allow groups to compete against other groups.

    [F]ukuyama has not identified the alternative to social democracy, nor has he identified the transitory nature of monopoly institutions, as necessary for the construction of a commons prior to the development of a competing market for the provision of those commons. He failed to grasp the difference between research and development of expensive common institutions, and the conversion of those monopoly institutions to non-monopoly institutions that exclude conflicting institutions, while competing on the efficient provision of services.

    The end of history is quite different from that which Fukuyama imagines, and what the academy (as a profiteering church) advocates and desires. There is an alternative to monopoly government, if not an alternative to a monopoly of property rights articulated as property-en-toto. He is a product of the academy and history despite his honest intellectual interests – because he is not a product of economics and law: political economy. He is forgivable as are most students of history, of looking backward at patterns, without understanding the causal properties of human cooperation and the necessity of increasingly complex means of calculation.

    [A]s advocates for liberty, it is our function, our mission, to provide these superior solutions to the problem of cooperation at scale that we call “government” by the invention of, advocacy of, demand for, and rebellion in pursuit of, formal institutions that prohibit tyranny, and preserve our unique western rate of innovation, by prohibiting all parasitism (rent seeking) in all walks of life, at all times.
    …1) The universal requirement for productivity and it’s obverse, the prohibition on parasitism.
    …2) The institutionalization of that rule as property rights encompassing property-en-toto.
    …3) The common organic law, the independent professional judiciary, universal standing, the jury, truth telling, restitution, multiples of restitution, punishment and ostracization (imprisonment).
    …4) The nuclear family (and perhaps not the absolute nuclear) as the first commons in which gender competition is resolved outside of the production of commons.
    …5) An hereditary monarch (a head of state) with veto power, but without positive power.
    …6) A set of houses representing the classes, populated by random selection, who act as a jury, in the selection of contracts proposed for the annum and specific prohibition from the construction of law….7) The inclusion of the informational commons in property rights and therefore (a) the requirement for truthful (‘scientific and Propertarian’) speech in matters of the commons.(b) the requirement for operational language, (c) the prohibition on pooling and laundering (d) the prohibition on intertemporal and transferred commitment, and (e) the liability of jurors (representatives and voters) for their actions on behalf of others.

    The only defense is requirement for production, the common law, the jury, the truth, universal standing, universal liability, and competitive markets. This produces the least opportunity for rent seeking and privatization and forces all into the market for the production of goods and services in order to survive and reproduce.

    Insurance of one another against error and failure, and a limit of one child to those who are unproductive solves the problem of charity without the problem of eugenic immorality.

    (worth repeating)

    Ukraine does not need a big mechanized military, but universal training on the swiss model; near universal small arms; to fill the armories with RPGs, and to focus on training soldiers with mobile artillery, including air defense, and to keep the army limited to very good special forces that rotate training of the civilians. If ukraine has this and six nuclear weapons they will be a free people. Russia is a one-city country. The centrality is its weakness. Nuclear arms guarantee Ukrainian sovereignty. special forces and a militia (which ukrainians are culturally disposed to anyway) will make occupation of the country literally impossible.

    The central point being that large mechanized infantry is not necessary for the defense of ukraine. Large vehicles and concentrated forces are just targets.

    SWITZERLAND IS THE ONLY REMAINING EUROPEAN COUNTRY

    (worth repeating)

    Switzerland is the only country that evaded the post-Napoleonic statist phase, because they never had the need or opportunity to construct a bureaucracy capable of total war. As such Switzerland is the only surviving ‘European’ country.

    Saudi Arabia has the worst possible leadership other than anyone else in Saudia Arabia. The same for Asia. The people are not like us. They are not trying to parent the world into consumer capitalism, and state as insurer of last resort. They are pursuing their own cultural biases: they are an hierarchical, paternalistic, and authoritarian people, who do not seek compromise, but power to impose ideas.

    RUNNING WITH CIVILIZATION’S SCISSORS

    Western Politicians are like excited children running with scissors: they may have the best of intentions, but are still taking risks with dangerous weapons. Worse, they tend not to be very bright; and they don’t always have the best of intentions; and they don’t hurt themselves with the scissors they carry – they destroy western civilization’s rule of law, property rights, liberty, truth telling, the family, and the suppression of reproduction.

    TRUTH IN DISCOURSE ON RUSSIAS AGGRESSION AGAINST UKRAINE

    It is one thing to say:

    1) THE CONTRACTUAL:

    –“–“We are obligated to assist those who desire liberty in the construction of liberty, because the exchange of such insurance is the only possible means by which liberty can be constructed. We believe that we cannot win this fight. But our contract with one another for the preservation and expansion of liberty is an inviolable one without self contradiction, and as such, I saddle up, and go to war in the hope the I err in my estimate of the enemy.”–

    2) THE TRUTHFUL AND PRAGMATIC:

    –“We are obligated to assist those who desire liberty in the construction of liberty, because the exchange of such insurance is the only possible means by which liberty can be constructed. However we believe that we cannot win this fight.”–

    3) AN IRRELEVANT JUSTIFICTATION FOR FREE RIDING

    “the USA does not need another war to fight, and it only expands the state and bureaucracy”.

    OR

    “I want americans to withdraw from around the world”

    VERSUS

    4) AN IMMORAL JUSTIFICATION OF FREE RIDING

    –“Russians were justified in the combination of deceit and aggression.”—

    VERSUS

    5) AN OUTRIGHT DECEIT AND CONSPIRATORIAL ACTION

    –“Russians did not commit an act of deceit or aggression”–

    Immoral-tarians choose the fourth and fifth options. Classical liberal pragmatists the third, and aristocracy the first two.

    There is only one liberty possible: aristocracy.
