    RESPONSE TO TOM WOODS SPEECH TO LIBERTARIANS.

    I love you Tom, but we have two over invested generations alive today grasping at the straws of the hippie generation promise of libertarian communes.

    But Liberty and sovereignty have only been constructed and only can be constructed by the organised use of violence to prohibit the alternatives.

    Wishful thinking will die with the generation of over invested wishful thinkers – buried by the empirical evidence that Liberty, personal responsibility under Liberty, and the costly use of violence to obtain and hold that Liberty, is the desire of but a few.

    And so called libertarians may desire Liberty, may willingly carry the individual responsibility, but when it comes to paying the high cost of using violence to obtain and hold Liberty, they run away from that cost as rapidly as socialist run away from individual responsibility.

    So I see no difference between wishful thinking by socialists on the economy and personal responsibility, and wishful thinking by so called libertarians on the government and the high cost of violence needed to secure Liberty.

    Both are acts of fraud using moral pretence to attempt to excuse the payment of a cost necessary to obtain their desires.

    Fraud is fraud no matter what moral pretence it is wrapped in

    That socialist will fight, but not compete in the market. The libertarian will compete in the market but not fight.

    The conservative will both fight and compete in the market and bear the cost of norms and laws that place the inter generational family ahead of the temporal individual.

    As far as I can see conservatives are the only people willing to pay the cost of Liberty: normative, economic and military.

    Everyone else is a fraud.

    THE FAILURE OF THE TRADITIONALISTS TO UNDERSTAND OUR OPTIONS.

    At present we have traditionalists that don’t understand the content of their traditions, only that through mandatory indoctrination and ritual do we behave aristocratically – in the western tradition.

    The Patriarchy for example, is popular primarily by appeal to traditional (aristocratic) aesthetics. Under the assumption that the church was the originator rather than the recipient and beneficiary of the aristocratic tradition.

    The Traditionalists do the same. But the church is just a temple for the weak side of the aristocracy. It’s not that we don’t need our great temples, and that we don’t need our great artistic achievements, but that

    My point is not to demean the church or advocate for atheism (individualsm) rather than a civic religion (familialism). Nor is it to deny that commercial empires have been as damaging for western civilization as has been our great wars, and our invasion by christian mysticism.

    My point is that we can create a civic religion out of truthful content rather than lies. Why? We do not need to appeal to a fantastic utopia that may be the home of false gods.

    WE MADE THAT UTOPIA EXISTENTIAL BY OUR ANCESTORS ACTIONS.

    We need no gods. Only heroes. And we have legions of them.

    “Some of the ideas under consideration could be “revolutionary,” Clovis said. Proposals currently being prepared would upend the current system of student loans, force all colleges to share the risk of such loans and make it harder for those wanting to major in the liberal arts at non-elite institutions to obtain loans. “

    ELIMINATION OF ‘TAXES’.

    As far as I know the only ‘fee’ that produces no malincentives is a universal sales tax (a fee) on all activity within the market. I would prefer (myself) that prices included this fee as a percentage, and that it was totally transparent to everyone. I have fought with the idea that this ‘fee’ is collected and redistributed as inflation of the money supply through direct redistribution (dilution) rather than through credit and interest. As long as the rate is relatively predictable then I don’t see the any informational reason why it wouldn’t work – or why we should pay interest to third parties who merely accumulate capital via this inflationary process.

    The only reason we don’t do this is because we can’t trust the government to leave our fees constant, or to buy votes with the use of these fees. This is again a fixable problem if we use direct economic democracy for the provision of commons and do not make use of representatives. Moreover, we would have to participate as houses since at any given time a decreasing minority of the population is productive.

    As for local improvements, I don’t see why we pool this money as taxes rather than apportion a debt and pay it off one way or the other – maintaining operational calculability, and eliminating political discretion. I assume most people would simply let the debt accumulate on their property and pay it when they transferred (sold) it. Again this is preventable.

    Do we really need drivers license fees? Do we really need income taxes or income tax forms? Do we really need to conduct campaigns and decide on character, rather than to post ideas and decide upon which ones we want to pay for? No. No we don’t.

    Voting for individuals is another error of aggregation. Just as Keynesian economics is an error of aggregation – an admission that we do not understand, and are ‘winging it’. They are excuses to make us think we have influence and decision rather than the truth that we are farmed like other domesticated animals.

    How about limiting guarantee of mortgages to twelve years and require twenty percent down? That would certainly fix the market.

    3/Property owners, mostly middle-aged or old, seem very cagey and uptight. They know they’re the beneficiaries of a broken system.

    Think of the innovation that would be unleashed by decentralization of the federal government to either states or super-regions?

    There is value in a central military, and value in an enormous insurer of last resort.

    But there isn’t any value in the provision of commons and culture.
