    LIBERTY IN OUR LIFETIME

    Aphoristic arguments, programmatic as they may be, are ideologically utilitarian, and place limited burden on the speaker. They teach the intuition through use and repetition, better than verbose and detailed arguments.

    Conservatives (aristocratic egalitarians) understand this. Or at least intuit it. That is why they win the moral battle for votes, despite inferior intellectuals, and arational arguments.

    One may not see it, but look at how fast the work I have done, just since December, is spreading across the internet. My terminology alone is working its way into dialog.

    Thanks to the internet, we live in a new order, with new distribution channels. In the current order, the market for information is not controlled by the paradigm of the prior generation.

    One need not seek approval or permission from the establishment – only provide the market with product it demands. 🙂

    One can sell an idea, or, one can create demand for an idea.

    One can attempt to create demand for inadequate libertarianism, or one can satisfy demand for an adequate libertarianism.

    Liberty that satisfies demand.

    Liberty in our lifetimes.

    Aristocratic Egalitarianism. Aristocracy (liberty) of the willing.

    Cheers

    (Hillary is trying to be likable rather than competent. Bad campaign advice. She isn’t likeable. She’s unpleasant, with a dishonesty she learned from Alinsky like Obama. She’s not even a very good person. Her reputation was closer to the Iron Lady’s: one of decisive seriousness, than to likability. And while one can fake competence one cannot really fake likability. Personally I think she’d be even worse than Obama has been. But at least we’d have her husband as a proxy in the white house. I can’t really see her surviving much longer. But Bill is pretty smart. We’ll see.)

    —“our representative democratic institutions have been captured by meta-institutions that implement the iron law of oligarchy by systematically reducing the risk of change. They have done so by converging on a common set of policies that do not serve the public interest, but minimize the risk of the parties losing the corporate funding they require in order to achieve re-election. And in so doing, they have broken the “peaceful succession when enough people get pissed off” mechanism that prevents revolutions. “—

    I guess other people are reading Burnham and Michels…. 🙂

    The swiss model.

  • Aristocratice Egalitarianism vs The Central Libertarian Fallacies

    (worth repeating) –Aristocratic Egalitarianism is a replacement for the fallacy of immaculate conception we call natural law. And High trust society is a replacement for the fallacy of aggression as sufficient for the formation of a voluntary polity in the absence of a state. Propertarianism is the explanation why.—
