    —“Another of the main aspects of Propertarianism which Libertarianism usually does not recognize properly is commons.

    They accept humans own themselves, but don’t consider the ramifications of confederation.

    Relationships own themselves. Families own themselves. Communities own themselves. Society owns itself.

    To gain the benefits of economic cooperation and peaceful coexistence we must create the social acceptance of, and trust in, property rights. Cooperative society emerges from this common investment.

    Libertarians see themselves as entitled to these conditions of peaceful coexistence from which economic cooperation may emerge, but these things come at a price, and if they refuse to pay their share they seek to gain the common property of liberty by parasitic theft.”—Joel Davis

    By Bill Joslin

    —“The series of values: Life, Liberty, and Property reflect a series of steady states in time:

    1) Life: Myself in the moment (self-ownership)

    2) Liberty: My life in the future

    3) Property: The results of my life in the past

    Using Properarianism’s Sovereignty, Testimonialism, and Propertarianism, we now have an operational triad which less poetically and more existentially accounts for Locke’s Life, Liberty, and Property.

    1) Life – Sovereignty (far more robust term, which can be demonstrated versus proclaimed via appeals to morality

    2) Liberty – Testimonialism (effective future action in applying our efforts and deciding exchanges toward productive ends)

    3) Property – Propertarianism: Property in toto (expanded and demonstrated definition of property)

    We’ve improved upon Life, Liberty, and Property”—

    Bill – I have an intuition that we could express this in relation to OTHERS (as a law of cooperation) rather than of self (as an appeal for liberty from the state, as Locke was doing)

    What do soverignty, testimony, and property cause us to grant for others in exchange for what? Then how do we tie that back to myself, and ourselves, my life and our lives, my property and our property?

    THE PROPERTARIAN TAKE ON WESTERN HISTORY

    (important concept)

    Let’s note that in propertarianism we don’t have to resort to the terms ‘good’ or ‘bad’ just true (moral) and false (immoral). If you work from the via-positiva, you are stuck with the impossible presumption of knowing the ‘good’. If you work from via-negativa, we only need to know know the bad. If you work from sovereignty over property-in-toto we can empirically test the bad, leaving only the good to survive the ‘battle’. (The origins of trial by combat are rational in this context).

    And if you grasp that the only method of cooperating under sovereignty over property-in-toto is productive, fully informed, warrantied, transfer limited to productive externalities, then no ‘commands’ in ‘legislation’ exist: only contracts for exchanges. In some exchanges we are seeking merely reciprocal burden of the costs of the production of commons. In others we are seeking behavior in exchange for financing. In others we are seeking behavior in exchange for subsidy.

    What Roman empire and the church provided was an insurer that monarchies(rulers) adhered to natural law – at least in commerce. In a world where monarchs could be readily replaced by advantage-seeking-peers if they broke natural law, and were given license by the church – the militias (people) would not defend their kings. This limited monarchies to an incremental evolution of christian natural law monarchies, culminating in the late medieval period as enlightened monarchs.

    We blew it. We took a very long time to develop government without a state (rule of law), in sufficient scale across our civilization, that sovereignty reserved for the aristocracy, was nearly achieved at scale. By ‘jumping the gun’ with the enlightenment, and seizing power from the aristocracy and church, the anglos and french let loose the undomesticated animal man in the lower classes to undo that sovereignty that the aristocracy had spent 3500 years developing through the incremental suppression of parasitism, producing the incremental domestication, and incremental rise of animal man through slave, serf, freeman, lesser nobility, nobility, and aristocracy. Because by achieving aristocracy one has transcended parasitic man to sovereign brotherhood of non-parasitic humans.

    DEFINITION OF A CORPORATION

    A corporation: an organization of individuals and their capital which the government has granted limited liability to the members by restricting personal financial liability to the capital invested in the organization in the event of failure. The reason states provide this limited liability is to encourage the risk taking necessary for entrepreneurial activity, and to reduce the power of the financial system from engaging in moral hazard in order to profit immorally. The state, as in all things, functions largely as an insurer of last resort.

    —“The modern corporate form of business organization evolved over many centuries. and despite a large body of historical research. its origins are still obscure. why. then, was the corporation invented‘? The early joint-stock companies in England embodied an important change in contractual form. Scholars have rationalized that these corporations evolved in response to an exogeneous increase in the demand for capital by the early foreign trading companies. Our complementary. supply-side hypothesis stresses the advantages that more readily transferable property rights held for the owner-managers of these early companies. These two hypotheses and the historical evidence on their relative importance will help explain the emergence of the corporate form of economic

    organization.”—

    UNCOMFORTABLE THOUGHTS ON MEN AND WOMEN

    At some point we are going to have to come to terms with the fact that women are property of families in all of history, and men fight for that form of property just as they do for slaves, domesticated animals, and territory. And that those peoples that retain the treatment of women as property of the family kin-corporation (a capital asset) will always, over time, defeat those that do not (us).

    Now, when we say something is property, we generally refer to that which lacks sentience. But even with property we do not confer a monopoly of control, but a limited one. For example, I may purchase the Mona Lisa or another great artwork, and I may purchase a full-granary, and I may purchase a lake. But we do not grant one another the right to destroy the art, destroy the grain, or pollute the lake. This is called the right of “ABUSUS”, and it is rarely granted – it is only granted for those things that are not productive in and of themselves. In other words, you are prohibited from causing negative externalities by the consumption or destruction of a good. In this sense you possess rights of USUS (use) and FRUCTUS (the fruits of) property that can cause externalities, and are always and everywhere not in monopoly control of property.

    Men do not tolerate defectors, nor traitors in their responsibility to the kin-group in matters of war. They are profiting from the taking of an asset from the kin group. Why a woman can profit from the taking of a reproductive asset, produce externalities by doing so, and deprive future generations of her offspring, is no different from acting as a traitor or defector.

    If a woman is to exit her kin group, she deprives the kin group of an asset. It’s up to the kin group whether they will defend against the loss of an asset. those groups that prevent assets from defecting will defeat those groups that do not.

    Conversely, if a woman is to bear children at the cost of her people, then she acts parasitically.

    This is not to say that any other right other than ABUSUS can be withheld from women – or from men who wish to import women from non-kin groups. So the door swings both ways. So to limit outbreeding from either direction seems a retention of capital. Except that there are marginal undesirables that breed themselves out of the ingroup by doing so, and into the lower groups.

    We are not the higher evolved unless higher evolution succeeds in competition. We do not choose what is a greater evolutionary strategy. Our survival does.

    It is no more possible for a people (tribe of men and their property) to survive the loss of warriors and producers, than it is for a people (tribe of men and their property) to survive loss of their women and their childbearing.

    Moroever, it is merely an act of ABUSUS for a woman to profit from the gains of the people (the men and their property) while not bearing children, just as it is an act of ABUSUS for a man to profit from the gains of the people (men and their property) while not policing property, maintaining property, and defending property.

    Once we understand this set of evolutionary necessities much of the rhetoric of human life (Moral excuse making) is just a convenient set of lies by which to avoid paying the cost of persistence of a people.

    And while women may not care for their people (men and their property) men must care. And if men do not care, then they are not men, they are just domesticated animals that are either costly or profitable, but unable to demonstrate capacity for political (group) decisions.

    I don’t particularly like this stream of reasoning. But it is what it is.

    if the west is to continue to drag humanity into transcendence we who CAN RULE, must return to the costly but profitable industry OF RULE.

    Exactly. If you derive money from your speech then you are using the market – and if using the market, we can demand you warranty your words like any other good, service, or information.
