    Q&A: “What’s the Difference between Mercantilism and Fascism?”

    Mercantilism mobilizes the state as a corporation for the purpose of conducting foreign trade competitively. Fascism is a defensive mechanism and relies on limited Autarchy limiting international trade.

    Mercantilism is an offensive economic strategy and fascism is a defensive one. (simplified, but yes.)

    They are opposing propositions.

    Q&A: “CURT:WHAT’S MARKET FASCISM?”

    Good question. Lets look at Fascism first.

    FASCISM:

    A political system headed by a dictator in which the government controls business and labor and opposition is not permitted.

    —“The only official definition of Fascism comes from Benito Mussolini, the founder of fascism, in which he outlines three principles of a fascist philosophy.

    1.”Everything in the state”. The Government is supreme and the country is all-encompasing, and all within it must conform to the ruling body, often a dictator.

    2.”Nothing outside the state”. The country must grow and the implied goal of any fascist nation is to rule the world, and have every human submit to the government.

    3.”Nothing against the state”. Any type of questioning the government is not to be tolerated. If you do not see things our way, you are wrong. If you do not agree with the government, you cannot be allowed to live and taint the minds of the rest of the good citizens.

    The use of militarism was implied only as a means to accomplish one of the three above principles, mainly to keep the people and rest of the world in line. Fascist countries are known for their harmony and lack of internal strife. There are no conflicting parties or elections in fascist countries.”—

    MARKET FASCISM

    1. Nothing but voluntary: Sovereignty, Liberty, Freedom, and Subsidy.

    2. Nothing but markets: Market for association ( and disassociation) Market for consumption (economy), market for reproduction( marriage and family), market for commons (multiple houses), market for rule (freedom of exit), all differences adjudicated by natural, judge discovered, common, law.

    3. Nothing but obedience or exit – no opposition is tolerated.

    In other words instead of enforcing socialist production without opportunity for criticism, we enforce markets in everything without opportunity for criticism.

  • Non-Conflationary West

    The west is deconflationary. We do not confuse methods of arguments, disciplines that make use of them, institutions that provide and manage them. We maintain a competition, and circumvent any monopoly: *power*. |— LIMITS ——- > UTILITY ——–> GOALS/IDEALS–>

    • LIMITS: Law, legal jurisdiction – secular jurisdiction – a discovered science of dispute resolution.
    • UTILITY: Trade – practical jurisdiction – a learned craft of pragmatism.
    • IDEALS: Matters spiritual – are literary – and an imagined art of aspiration.

    Islam and Judaism are ‘simpler’ methods than western. simpler than Chinese. And suitable for a people less intelligent —Curt

  • THE CORRUPTION OF OUR SACRED LAW BY THE STATE There exists only one social scien

    THE CORRUPTION OF OUR SACRED LAW BY THE STATE

    There exists only one social science: Natural Law: the Law(Theoretic) of cooperation, expressible as a Logic of Physical Law, a Logic of evolutionary pressures, a Logic of construction by voluntary action, and evidence of empirical observations that are the result of physical Laws, evolutionary pressures, voluntary actions, and networks of voluntary actions.

    There is no reason that we do not teach natural law as part of the Sequence:

    – Grammar, Logic, Natural Law, Rhetoric.

    But we cannot study the Law today because it contains a conflation of traditions, legislations, regulations, and ‘excuses’.

    We COULD study Natural Law, then study Contracts Between the Classes (Legislation), and study Regulation (Insurance Codes), and if necessary Emergency Commands (Time of War).

    And if we taught the law by this un-conflated method, law would be a much easier (and more assailable, and more honest) field of study.

    Statism was a violation of western civilization since it allowed the state to enact legislation that violate the Law proper (natural law).

    Universal Majoritarian Democracy was a violation of western civilization since it removed the use of houses as vehicles for the conduct of exchanges between the classes, which also must hold to natural law (law proper).

    The Corporate State and the Corporate Democatic Polity have been imposed as monopolies under which we no longer must conduct trades by natural law in every walk of life and instead conduct conflict and winner-takes-all.

    SEQUENCE

    – Universal Opportunity

    – Personal Possession

    – Interpersonal Consent

    – Social Norm or Custom

    – Institutional Legislation(contract), Policy, and Regulation(Command)

    – Natural Law (science of cooperation)

  • There is no alternative to the use of violence to secure dominion over territory

    There is no alternative to the use of violence to secure dominion over territory, resources, trade routes, laws and institutions. The incentive to exit is not high enough to compensate for the incentives to bear costs in high investment commons communities. period.

    Sovereignty, Liberty, Freedom, and Prosperity(consumption) are the product of the organized use of violence to obtain, hold, and construct a sovereign order in competition with nonsovereign orders.

  • No, Capitalism Isn’t Enough

    –“trust isn’t necessary just capitalism”— Diego Anonymous Diego,

    Let me correct you a bit – largely by providing you with more precise language. Capitalism – private production of goods and services by the universal distribution of private property rights – has always existed to some degree – it must for trade to exist. But, cooperation at *scale* using institutions, that creates what we call ‘consumer capitalism’ requires high trust society. Without high trust, states are necessary to organize sale and complex production, because of the risk required of all participants. States as the insurer of last resort, insure against ‘risk of defection’. This is why centrally managed economies can be used to transform states from a condition of backwardness, but cannot be used to maintain them once backwardness is reduced and society reordered, or to create persistently competitive states where self-ordering produces consistent market innovation. The only known way of producing high trust is evolution from common (negative) law, property rights for women, and the prohibition on inbreeding (cousin marriage). Common law insures against ‘risk of defection’. The only known way of producing common (negative) law is evolution from a militia (Anglo-Saxon model). The only known way of producing a professional bureaucracy is evolution from an army (french-german-prussian). (And this leads to napoleonic law of state vs people, not common natural-law of militias of universal equality) The only known way of producing a libertarian (anglo-saxon) political order is with militia and common law, combining to provide sufficient suppression of free riding such that commons can be produced without defection preserving competitiveness, and private goods can be produced competitively. One man may rule. An Oligarchy may rule. A professional bureaucracy may rule. Or all may rule – thereby ensuring that none rules. Rule of law (nomocracy); The civic production of commons (liberalism); The private production of goods and services (capitalism); And the condition under which we experience all three (liberty); Can each exist but they cannot exist without one another.
