by Eli Harman You earn the protection of the rules by submitting to and abiding by the rules. Optionally: by helping to enforce the rules. I don’t think this last part is optional, although your help can be indirect (pay your taxes) rather than direct (militia service.) Libertarians who say the rules just are, whether god-given, inalienable, natural, morally imperative, self-evident, or what have you, are just lying in order to try and obtain their protection at a discount. -

I take my Macbook pro to the Apple store. It’s three days out of warranty. They
I take my Macbook pro to the Apple store. It’s three days out of warranty. They still cover it. They send it out and back in three days. I have a new case, new battery, new keyboard, new trackpad and new speakers. They already replaced the battery and the screen and the keyboard last spring. So at this point the only meaningful part that isn’t new is the 2TB SSD drive. Yeah, this is laptop new today is ~$4900 plus the $300 warranty. And when I bought this in 2014 it was about $400 less. But it’s been worth every damned penny. I figure that on average I use it 18 hours a day. for three years, that’s somewhere in the vicinity of twenty cents an hour. And it is very hard to imagine that they made a profit on this machine. However, if you look at all the apples I have bought since 2008, it’s four macbook pro 17’s, three Air’s, one mac pro, four iphones, and three ipads, they did just fine. -

Against Higgs On Anti Minarchism Whereas
The common natural law of reciprocity, adjudicated by professional judges, constitutes a market for the resolution of differences using the incremental discovery of the application of the test of reciprocity.

(Yes, really) WHEREAS No group, under rule of law, can compete in the market for polities, which themselves constitute a market for markets, without the production of commons. The question is only the method by which commons are chosen and produced, and the method by which parasitism(privatization) of, and free riding upon those commons is prevented. While majoritarian democracy constitutes a MONOPOLY production of commons, which is unnecessary and the source of our conflicts; And while it is not clear that democracy is a good method of decision making for the production of commons; and while it s certain that representative democracy is disaster in the production of commons, it is not true – whatsoever – that direct democracy limited by rule of law, where votes are proportional(economic) or equal(shareholder), would be any less effective, than monarchical (private ownership of the commons) government. In fact, it is very hard to make the case that monarchical decision making limited by rule of law, was not and would not be superior to democratic decision making – as long as the polities were small enough (city states) such that individual discretion (decision making) on the production of commons was physically possible (by direct and empirical experience.)

AGAINST HIGGS ON ANTI MINARCHISM
WHEREAS
The common natural law of reciprocity, adjudicated by professional judges, constitutes a market for the resolution of differences using the incremental discovery of the application of the test of reciprocity. To argue for poly-anything law is not to argue for scientific (reciprocity) law, but to argue for FALSE AND scientifically (objectively) IMMORAL LAW. (Yes, really)
WHEREAS
No group, under rule of law, can compete in the market for polities, which themselves constitute a market for markets, without the production of commons. The question is only the method by which commons are chosen and produced, and the method by which parasitism(privatization) of, and free riding upon those commons is prevented. While majoritarian democracy constitutes a MONOPOLY production of commons, which is unnecessary and the source of our conflicts; And while it is not clear that democracy is a good method of decision making for the production of commons; and while it s certain that representative democracy is disaster in the production of commons, it is not true – whatsoever – that direct democracy limited by rule of law, where votes are proportional(economic) or equal(shareholder), would be any less effective, than monarchical (private ownership of the commons) government.

FURTHERMORE
No group, under rule of law, under markets for commons, can defend itself from competition for territory, and monopoly definition of property rights, and
No group, under rule of law, can resolve conflicts without a judge of last resort (monarchy or oligarchy).
No group, under rule of law, can produce commons without a judge of last resort (monarchy or oligarchy)
THEREFORE
This is why libertarianism cannot exist, and never will exist, and only NOMOCRACY can, ever, exist.
WE HAD PERFECT GOVERNMENT:
An independent judiciary under the common, natural law of reciprocity.
A monarchy as judge of last resort (veto)
A House of Territories (Nobility) Limiting the fashion of the middle class.
