    Sean Gabb: THOUGHTS ON INDEPENDENCE

    —“…dissolution would, of necessity, end the pernicious delusion of Britain as a great power in the world. We lost our hegemonic position in the 1940s. But our rulers have never lost their belief that, if we only suck up hard enough to the Americans, and keep up our membership dues to the right international bodies, we can somehow “punch above our weight.” A rational policy after 1945 would have focussed all effort on the defence of our home islands and the maintenance of our commercial and industrial position. No longer what we became after 1760, we needed to relearn how we had conducted ourselves before then [before the age of empire]. Instead, our ruling class chose three generations of self-deception. …

    Ending the United Kingdom will end this [self deception]. England by itself will remain both rich and powerful. But there will be no more playing the ghost of the British Empire sitting enthroned on the grave thereof. It will be an end welcome to us and to those elsewhere in the world we remain able to hurt without being able to rule.”—

    Well said. I have the same objective for the States. If Scotland can secede, then so can Texas or any other justifiably secede, and we can end anglo imperialism and the universalism that both anglos and jews advocate, returning liberty to national rather than corporate and commercial purposes.

    Max,

    Exceptionally good articles “The End Of Politics (1 and 2)”. Particularly the lists, and the insights into the potential changes in culture that increase the chance of general appreciation of liberty. Its optimistic, and I hope you are right. On the other hand, we westerners are unique in the world in our total discount of the family, and we are rapidly outbred by those groups that either do not discount the family, or who have effectively weaponized the family and/or tribe as a competitive evolutionary strategy. And as Emmanuel Todd has argued, our lack of familialism is a competitive weakness in constructing society, even if has been a legal, commercial and political advantage in the past, when we have acted tribally (as christendom). So my expectation, despite my preferences, is that we will either see the re-nationalization of liberalism, or a constant reduction in trust that takes us ever more toward familialism and ever farther from anarchism. As such, I question instead, what institutions foster liberty under familial and tribal conditions. If liberty is at all possible, and competitively desirable under familialism and tribalism.

    Thanks again for writing something worthy of reading in the liberty movement.

    Marco,

    I’ve asked you this before, but I don’t know if we got anywhere. How do you position classical liberals (europeans and american constitutionalist varieties) and the Dark Enlightenment / Return to Aristocracy tribes? I’m not really sure I understand the difference between paleoconservatism and these ideologies, and I’d like to be able to use the same terminology and approach that you do.

    I’ve tried to do it by combining your “Taboo” table by adding “Advocacy” section to it, so we have both positives and negatives. That seemed to help quite a bit.

    Thanks

    Broadway, USA.

    With his own version of “a thousand points of light,” now at play in the world — and mostly attributable to his high-promotional-value in-your-face POTUS bids of 88, 08 & 12 — the legacy of RP continues to manifest in so many unpredictable and often (pleasantly) surprising ways.

    Worth being a student of, considering the results.

    “One morning in 2011, Ívar woke up with the idea for the project and started working on it, setting out to make the best album of songs he possibly could, enlisting Stefán Örn Gunnlaugsson as producer and arranger. Alongside him from the start was Gunnlaugur Jónsson, executive producer and co-author of the story. In 2012, the script was nearing its final form and in 2013 they started working with producers Karl Pétur Jónsson and Óskar Eiríksson. Subsequently the ball started rolling faster. They decided to head to New York with the piece and a milestone in the process was when they hired Bergur Þór Ingólfsson as a director, bringing with him the acclaimed creative team behind the Icelandic production of Mary Poppins; choreographer Lee Proud and set designer Petr Hlousek.”

    A year ago I would not have understood why today I do: the failure of the western program is a failure of his program.

    But there is an obvious answer to the new world order. Abandon multi-culturaism and the corporates state and re-nationalize liberalism.

    There is no common good.
