    ***There is a vast difference between convenience and conviction, between discount and premium. Between action and excuse for inaction. Should’s, requests, demands, are a convenience by which to obscure a discount, by justifying inaction – and creating a theft from one’s ancestors, one’s peers and all generations that might follow. And so there is plenty rope and pyre for such liars, cheaters, and thieves as well. Act, or perish at the hands of those who do.***

    LIBERTARIANISM VS ANARCHO CAPITALISM

    Libertarianism (Classical liberalism) depends upon the existence of rule of law (contractualism), defined, generally speaking, as natural law (Locke), with the question being only the minimum size and scope of commons production. Commons are desirable competitive advantage, and necessary for the defense of territory. So commons must evolve for the group to successfully compete.

    Anarcho Capitalism (rothbardianism) denies rule of law, or any basis of law, other than intersubjectively verifiable property. Commons are undesirable and unnecessary in Anarcho Capitalism primarily because without fixed assets and territorial land holding, commons do not need to evolve, and would detract from the accumulation of portable capital.

    In this sense Libertarianism = Natural Law (Rational cooperation) of land holders who pay for commons, and Rothbardian anarcho capitalism = property law (rational cooperation) of migratory shepherds and traders, who eschew payment for commons (and parasitically extract benefit from the commons of others whenever possible).

    RECIPROCAL INSURANCE

    —“The Salic Law outlines a unique way of securing the payment of money owed. It is called the Chrenecruda (or crenecruda, chren ceude, crinnecruda).[21] In cases where the debtor could not pay back a loan in full they were forced to clear out everything from their home. If the debt still could not be paid off the owner could collect dust from all four corners of the house and cross the threshold. The debtor then turned and face the house with their next of kin gathered behind them. The debtor threw the dust over their shoulder. The person (or persons) that the dust fell upon was then responsible for the payment of the debt. The process continued through the family until the debt was paid. Chrenecruda helped secure loans within the Frankish society. It intertwined the loosely gathered tribes and helped to establish government authority. The process made a single person part of a whole group.”—

    Hence we make people responsible for the actions of their group.

    We might argue propertarian contractualism is a pre-christian A-S tradition, but that’s hard to argue under universalism

  • NO LIBERTINES, RIGHTS ARE MADE. Fact: Natural rights are necessary for voluntary

    NO LIBERTINES, RIGHTS ARE MADE.

    Fact:

    Natural rights are necessary for voluntary cooperation in a market.

    They are something we desire to construct.

    We are rarely successful.

    Rights exist if and only if enough people ensure that they do by the organised use of violence to warranty those rights will be enforced.

    Ergo, rights do not exist any more than dances exist, unless we act to create them for one another.

    Period.

    Property ( that which an organism expends energy obtaining, and thereafter defends ) is demonstrated by most animals.

    Property rights are created when two or more people create an agreement for the reciprocal insurance of one another’s common and personal property.

    Private property refers to that which is not held as a commons.

    Property is demonstrated by defense ( retaliation ).

    Property rights are demonstrated by reciprocal insurance.

    Property rights evolved in parallel with the evolution of both the family, inheritance, and the division of labor, by devolving from nearly universal commons to nearly universal private property.

    Rights can only exist as terms of contract.

    When we say we have rights this is false. It cannot be true. Instead we demand rights in order to cooperate willingly.

    You can ‘hold’ or ‘believe’ whatever you wish. But Wishing it was so does not make it so. ACTING DOES.

    So you may WISH that we work together to produce – existentially – – those rights, but they cannot exist otherwise.

    As for your ancestors, what is the difference between using potatoes to reproduce at eight people per acre instead of one or two, then when the blight arrives, blaming others for your folly?

    …and conducting war with the proceeds of your productivity?

    In other words proles like yourself compete though overconsumption, over reproduction, and false moral criticism. ( r-selection ) while the middle and upper class use proceeds to limit their reproduction and deny you your parasitic overconsumption, over reproduction, and use of false moral equivalency. For the productive and the eugenic build civilization largely by limiting their own consumption and limiting the overconsumption and over reproduction of the parasitic underclasses.

    So what you are doing is making a false equivalency to commit fraud: engaging in over consumption and over reproduction and the dysgenic and impoverishing effects of that proletarian strategy.

    So there is nothing false or immoral by preventing human locusts.

    There is everything false and moral in denying the parasitic over reproductive access to consumption.

    In fact, since the lower classes are more damaging to the community than the upper classes are advantageous, the central reason for western success has been the systematic expansion of property and the systematic use of manorialism, war, and hanging.

    In fact, while the west does possess a geographic advantage, and the west escaped eastern totalitarianism because of our wet climate, our success at dragging mankind out of disease ignorance and poverty has been our use of testimonial ( scientific) truth and aggressive systematic eugenics.

    I suppose the socialist literature does not address the fact that Ireland and Scotland and good parts of Wales and Brittany, were third world countries until the nineteenth century.

    Natural rights: I shall not impose costs, by deed, word, or externality, upon the mind, body, Kin, several property, shareholder property, or commons, that others have expended costs in constructing, or maintaining. And I shall insure all those others who obey this law against such impositions of cost, by retaliating against those who impose such costs.

    This is natural law. It is the law of non-imposition, for the purpose of creating preserving and expanding voluntary cooperation.

    Ergo, comments by other posters are made in ignorance, error, deceit, or fraud.

    Property predates cooperation.

    Cooperation requires non-parasitism.

    Non parasitism requires retaliation.

    Retaliation requires organization.

    Organization requires contract.

    Contract requires decidability.

    Property ( cost ) provides decidability independent of opinion, norm or law.

    The reason for the systematic decline in human violence has been the evolution of property rights, and the suppression of the reproduction of the underclasses.

    We incrementally suppress parasitism and increase cooperation be the incremental evolution of laws that articulate prohibitions against all innovative attempts to decivilize through the imposition of costs by word, deed, conspiracy, or externality.

    The question of the 20th century is why we do not treat statist parasitism in the form of downward redistribution, and advocacy of violations of property as the conspiracy to defraud that they are.
