  • ON THE SINGLE PATH FOR UKRAINE Hello. Thank you for having me speak with you tod

    ON THE SINGLE PATH FOR UKRAINE

    Hello. Thank you for having me speak with you today. I apologize for not speaking Ukrainan or Russian. But you would just laugh at me if I tried. Thankfully Marta will protect me from most, if not all, embarrassment.

    My name is Curt Doolittle. I’m a philosopher of political economy. But I should define these two terms for you, because they are often misused.

    A lot of people use the word ‘philosopher’ – a practitioner of ‘reasoning’, just like a lot of people use the word ‘writer’ – a practitioner of writing. These titles (names) are not informative. Because whether we speak of writers or philosophers there are good and bad, smart and foolish, scientific and literary, truthful and fantastical thinkers. I divide most philosophers into literary wishful thinkers of what they fantasize might be, and scientific describers of what is and can be.

    The job of truthful, good, smart, scientific, philosophers of what is and what can be, is to integrate new knowledge into old ideas, and provide new thoughts with greater explanatory power (power of explanation) that was provided by old ideas. In this sense there is no difference between the physical scientist and the social scientist. And therefore no difference between philosopher and social scientist.

    Political economy means that I study the institutional processes that help people to cooperate, and through cooperation, prosper. My specialization is in truth-telling, trust in one another, and natural or common law – things that are scarce in our Ukrainian political economy.

    So today I would like to help you understand the only possible methods that are available to Ukrainians, if you want to prosper and free yourselves from our unfortunate history and circumstances.

    WHY WE ARE POOR

    We cannot form an advanced economy dependent upon money, property, prices, credit, interest, banking and finance.

    Why?

    (a) the public employees steal everything that isn’t nailed down. (This is why IT is good for ukraine. you can’t steal it)

    (b) courts are all but worthless means of contract dispute resolution so no one can take entrepreneurial risks

    (c) the primary source of credit is private property and this has been hoarded by oligarchs, the army, and the government, so that the credit cycle cannot be put into motion.

    (d) our money is worthless because our economy is worthless.

    (e) even though foreigners want to invest in ukraine they can’t because our government or oligarchs will steal the money.

    Demographic problems:

    While we once had an aristocracy, the mongols, the poles, the russians and the soviets have either killed them or caused them to flee.

    While we were once a trading center with a large middle class, the soviets destroyed that middle class. The rest have largely fled to europe.

    While we have been serfs and farmers we have never had a militia, never had chivalry, and under the soviets had no middle class.

    While we once had austrian law, the Soviets destroyed that law. When the new constitution was made the government was not empowered to reform the 8000 judges and courts.

    WE HAVE A BROKEN STATE, A FAILED STATE, BUT WE DO NOT YET HAVE A FAILED PEOPLE

    Our problems can be fixed. But we are all impatient. And we are right to be impatient.

    DEMOCRACY IS A METHOD OF THROWING THE BUMS OUT.

    REDISTRIBUTION IS THE RESULT OF RULE OF LAW

    RULE OF LAW IS THE REMOVAL OF CHOICE (DISCRETION)

    THE PROBLEM OF CORRUPTION – OUR NATURAL STATE

    What does it mean when we call someone corrupt?

    When they work in the interests of themselves, their relations, their organizations, their associates, sponsors and dependents, instead of minimizing the costs to the citizen.

    Maximizing my return versus minimizing the cost to others.

    Discretion rather than Rule of Law, Regulation and Procedure.

    THREE WEAPONS OF INFLUENCE / THREE METHODS OF SUPPRESSING CORRUPTION

    1) Aristocracy / Military / Landed / Commercial

    2) Professional Bureaucracy / Middle Class

    3) Reporters / Judges / Sheriff’s / And the Militia

    THE PROBLEM WITH OUR PEOPLE AND OUR LAW:

    1) EXTERNALITIES

    2) COMMONS,

    3) TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE COMMONS.

    We are MORAL but not EMPIRICAL – The problem of scale.

    THE RUSSIAN PROBLEM vs THE WESTERN PROBLEM

    Russians are right to protect the church and family and nationalism.

    Westerners are right to suppress corruption, build credit, and diverse complex economies.

    We can choose the best of both and not die like the west or despair like the east.

    A THIRD WAY, EASTERN EUROPEAN

    (Why is consumption good? You might like heroin also, does that mean it is good? You might like mothers working instead of having children. Is that good? )

    Fighting, Protecting, policing, for men, and childbearing for women are the most important taxes we pay after keeping our promises and truth telling.

  • Terrorists Fight by Drama. Revolutionaries Fight by Attrition

    [H]OW TO START A REVOLUTION
     
    —I have been following your movement for a while now and I was wondering if you could give a soon-to-be revolutionary some advice on how to start up. thank you for your time.”—
     
    1) Visualization is very close to doing. Visualize. Plan. Rehearse. Do.
    2) One can visualize violence, destruction, raids, entrapment, clearing, and patrols.
    3) One conducts incrementally increases the level of response from violence to destruction, to raids, to entrapment, to clearing, to patrols.
    4) So one PLANS ‘missions’ consisting of acts of violence, acts of destruction, acts of raiding, acts of entrapment, acts of clearing, and acts of patrol.
    5) Make plans consisting of a very simple lists. The type of mission. The Things needed. The places to obtain them. the Men needed. and very clear steps for who is responsible for what actions. The preparation phase, the start phase, the action phase, the defensive phase, and the retreat to safety phase.
    6) To construct a plan you need intelligence on weak points. Weak points are radio, television, cable, network/internet hubs, power lines, transformers, power stations, high tension lines, trucking and rail routes for shipping goods. Bank locations, armored car stations and routes, police ‘resting positions’, police cars (they are costly and time consuming to replace), police stations. weapons stores, arsenals, guard arsenals.
    7) To execute a plan you need to collect people and rehearse it together. This requires networking.
    8) To hold territory you need intelligence on the organization: Names, Residences, Work addresses, commute routes. Family members. Schools.
    9) We require a database and distributed web sites to collect this information (in progress – organized as a sort of ‘game’. )
     
    To sustain yourself:
    Stockpile Six Weeks of Food and water (Mormon Style:simple).
    1000 rounds of ammunition. Even .22 is enough – use guns to get better guns. A .22 a baseball bat. a hand-made padded wood or tin shield, a heavy kitchen knife, molotov cocktails, and a motorcycle helmet are all the equipment you will need.
     
    Strategy
    0) Disable the economy and the ability to rule.
    1) Entrap and Kill enforcement people.
    2) Hang/Impale leadership and use families against them.
    3) Overwhelm but do not harm emergency services
    4) Always retreat from the military to a new venue of action.
    5) Move around the country developing experience.
    6) Protect your people.
     
    Code of Honor:
    1) Everybody Lives to Fight another day. Preserve experience assets.
    2) Anyone captured must be freed. They must be afraid to hold you.
    3) Everyone fights without fear of death, or is unsuitable for fighting.
     
    Relationships:
    When you talk to others avoid all feel-good-talk, and talk only about planning opportunities to act. Do not share personal information, or personal emotions. Bond with others by trust developed through shared action, not by shared feelings or shared words. It is natural to be nervous, but revolution requires men of action not of fantasy.
     
    Tolerate “whackos’ who are courageous risk takers. They will do what the rest fear to. Be intolerant of ‘whackos’ who are talkative, excessively nervous, fearful or complain, and kill them if you must to keep them from ‘turning’ once you reject them for their instability.
     
    Fitness
    You do not need to be much of an athlete. But you will be much better off if you cut sugar, bread, dairy, sauces, from your diet and eat clean for six months, and avoid the MSG, which like sugar is a drug. (I”m all for the weed and the alcohol as long as its not on mission).
     
    Summary
    This phase of revolution requires we collect information. It involves taking a lot of pictures. Marking up maps. Writing plans. Posting plans for review. Critiquing plans. Improving your plan-making skills together. In effect you will run a university style MBA program in revolutionary planning.
     
    That’s enough for now. I have work to do.

    STATIST SOLDIERS VS REVOLUTIONARY WARRIORS Hold Territory Against Attrition vs Impose Attrition from Within Territory A soldier must carry a lot of resources, and because of this his fitness demands are higher. He is not at home. He has less information to work with. He cannot easily hide. What he can do is concentrate forces and rely upon information networks. Revolutionary Warriors must only concentrate forces for very short periods, and then disperse again into ‘society’. Every moment they hold territory costs them. Every moment we force them to hold territory it cost them.   A RAID How they take out a politician, judge, or policeman’s house: 5 or 6 Man Job 2 or 3 Propane Tanks 12 beer bottle sized molotov’s. 10 fist sized rocks. Open the tanks, and throw through rear windows. Throw rocks through the front windows. Throw all molotovs through broken front windows. The plan more gas that escapes prior to the fire the better. Fire burns best when heat can be concentrated, so do not Spread out the fires without increasing the number of men and molotovs. Scatter. Wait for emergency services crews. Use more molotovs, or weapons, to keep crews occupied.

  • Everyone Must Atone for Their Sins If They Are To Reform

    [I] don’t have mercy on any enlightenment group. We were all wrong. My job is to solve it. Our job – together – is to fix it. High trust societies are much more vulnerable to moral suggestion. And the history of deceit is something that we must blame Jews for; just as a history of ignorance is something that we must blame muslims for; just as a history of hatred of the human being is something we must blame the Chinese for; just as parasitic colonialism is something we must blame whites for. Until Jews atone for over two thousand years of sins they will not reform. No free passes for the creators of most of histories most murderous frauds. Until the Muslims repent for 1500 years of sins they will not reform.  No free passes for the destroyers of the ancient worlds.  Until Chinese repent for 3000 years of sins, they will not reform. No free passes for the most murderous liars on earth.
