MILITIA: A distributed dictatorship of sovereign men.
That’s the secret. That’s the magic. Sovereignty requires a militia in reciprocal contract of mutual insurance under natural law. The consequence of sovereign reciprocally insuring militia under natural law of reciprocity is markets in everything. The result of markets in everything is the institutional production of agency, and through agency transcendence of man.

Talking my octogenarian mother through the reasons people will say Yes to Natural Law. She has worked in banking for much of her life.
“Um. Holy mackerel. You got me all worked up. Do you have a bodyguard? Do you already have it lined up? Because the people in the banking business…. Wait. I am going to need one too… (not joking).”
Exactly. It’s one thing to ask people to suppress falsehood. It’s another to tell them what they will get in exchange.
And there are offers that are simply too, too, good, to refuse.

(Um. Don’t get me wrong. Hoppe’s APPLIED ethics of property is just about flawless. It’s his ‘excuses’ for the institution of property that are just more Kantian, jewish, cosmopolitan, marxist, libertine, total freaking nonsense. But don’t blame him He’s a german. They’re incredibly gullible that way. 😉 )

CHRISTIAN ETHICS IN FIVE RULES (IN ORDER)
1) Do nothing unto others that you would not have done unto you.
2) Do unto others, only what they desire done unto them.
3) Exhaust forgiveness for that which they do unto you, before retaliating.
4) Retaliate only to the minimum extent necessary to prevent harms to you and others – do not seek revenge.
5) Extirpate all hatred from your heart.
This is the optimum strategy humans can adopt in order to construct cooperation despite differences.

THE RECIPROCITY OF THE RIGHT OF ASSOCIATION AND ASSEMBLY
You are responsible for the members of your family. Of your organization. Of your religion. Of your political campaign. Of your political party. Period.
Thou shalt not create hazard. Thou shalt police those hazards you create.

The past problem with Natural Law was the absence of a weight and measure. Ergo: Property. Propertarianism. Propertarianism is the solution to converting natural law from a philosophy to a science. Science requires commensurability.

THE SERVANT OF THE NATION: KNIGHT
The Oath is a “Sh-t Test”.
The problem isn’t taking the oath.
It’s finding insurers who will kill you if you void it.

—“The Stoics elaborated a detailed taxonomy of virtue, dividing virtue into four main types: wisdom[testimonialism], justice[reciprocity/propertarianism], courage[investment/non-parasitism], and moderation[ limits].”—

DE-CONFLATION OF PROPERTARIANISM INTO SEVEN THESES
Now, look, I know I’m more than a tad anachronistic. Because I do serious work, I do experimental work, I do promotion, and I happily participate in troll-guments. But that’s a luxury of not working in the Academy, and not needing anyone’s approval. I have luxuries that authors and academics dont – and I revel in them.
But Propertarianism is a bit confusing – or at least, following my work on propertarianism is somewhat confusing to newbies – because Propertarianism consists of very separate works.
1) Acquisitionism (Psychology), Propertarianism (Sociology), Testimonialism (epistemology: the completion of the scientific method, to include psychology and sociology). This is a very hard-core, serious work that solves the outstanding problems in analytic philosophy and the sciences, thereby uniting philosophy and the sciences.
2) Natural Law (Ethics, and Law)
It is possible to construct, strictly, with original intent, and strict textualism, from the first principle of reciprocity, all possible moral law, and to disallow judicial legislation from the bench, and much of judicial discretion, as our founders had originally intended so that the constitution could not be circumvented. THis requires propertarian and testimonial grammar, and produces the equivalent of software ‘functions’ for the production of contracts.
3) Market Government (Politics)
A list of options by which different governments can be constructed, under a natural law of reciprocity, thereby ending the period of majoritarian tyranny via monopoly allocation of resources to preferred commons. And the devolution of the powers for normative commons and familial commons to the region (state) and locality (city). Chief differences include the assent of any contract of the commons that survives the criticism of natural law (shall-ascend), and the elimination of majority rule. As well as the elimination of political representatives (politicians).
4) Anti-Marxism
The extension of fraud protection from products and services to information and public speech. The defunding of those devices by which the left has preyed upon our people, and the restoration of our sovereignty via that means.
5) A New Constitution
The reformation of the american constitution in order to restore Anglo Saxon Contractualism, The Founder’s Attempt at a constitution of Natural Law.
6) The Revolution
The strategy and tactics of revolution by which we can force the restoration of the constitution of natural law, and force the expansion of the constitution to require warranty of due diligence against fraud in matters of the commons from products, and services, to information, and speech.
7) The Answer to the Question of Western Dominance in all fields. (Group Evolutionary Strategy) The answer is reducible to we invented and use truth as an heroic virtue despite the threat to the dominance hierarchy. From that one choice, all the rest of the west evolved.
So when you just ‘stop on by’ or are a newbie, it kind of takes a while to figure out both if I’m serious or experimenting, or playing, and which of the seven points I’m experimenting with.
If you understand testimonialism and operational grammar used testimonialism, you’ll see that when I construct arguments I am actually trying to construct proofs – and then by trying them over and over again, refining them until they’re both complete and comprehensible to ‘normal’ people. Or at least the best that I can do.
So I’m not ‘done’ with the seven different components of Propertarianism (i might never be). And when you participate in this online experiment, you’re watching a street vendor practice his craft – including the failures.
Hopefully you learn something wonderful. 😉
