    Europe cannot fight the immigration problem becuase in fact THE STATE CANNOT.

    —“To make your job easy, let me translate Curt’s model for the folk below +3 sigma: conflict resolution and cooperation among sovereign peers is a different GAME than organization of non-sovereigns by a central sovereign. This cybernetic differential produces different optimizations, which we call civilizational strategies. If you can cut the lifeblood of other agents on a whim (centrally organized irrigation), then you can rule by fiat. If you can’t overwhelm, force other agents cheaply into submission, then you’ll have to discover a method of adjudication in conflicts such that you get stable cooperation instead of retaliation and defect/defect equilibrium. In other words, you’ll discover natural law, and you’ll incrementally get better at truth telling to make it work.”— Propertarian Frank

  • Los hombres creamos la violencia

    Los hombres creamos la violencia para crear la soberanía por medios de facto. Otros hombres compraron el discurso de la “libertad” como forma de obtener permisos para ponerla a “un buen uso” en la organización de mercados. Otros hombres obtuvieron la libertad de otros hombres al llevar a cabo guerras, al ejecutar acciones policiales, y al producir bienes y servicios que compiten en los mercados. Afortunadamente para todos los que aspiramos avanzar en nuestros intereses familiares, no hay límites en la demanda de hombres capaces de ejercer su soberanía. Solo que hay pocos hombres capaces de hacerlo. Porque hay pocos hombres capaces de hacer agencia para ello.

    Does Turkey’s Erdogan grasp that he is setting up his country for re-taking by Russia? I mean, I would LOVE for that to occur, and for Russia to restore the orthodox world.

    REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGIES AND MARKETS

    by Joel Davis

    A polity can only generate the sovereign power necessary to establish and defend itself via competitiveness in the violence market.

    Production (Brotherly) and Reproduction (Motherly) Strategies obviously require cultivation to successfully compete fundamentally in intergroup Violence (Fatherly).

    Without production you lack weapons technology and food and shelter for your soldiers, without reproduction you lack soldiers.

    However, through the institutions of property and marriage, individuals compete individually within the polity with one another for individual success.

    In the institution of military, individuals must cooperate for the good of the group, they sacrifice their individual potential cost to accrue benefits to group fitness.

    Fundamentally, participation in intergroup violence brings the individual’s interests in allignment with the group’s interests.

    Individuals who merely compete in the markets for production and reproduction lack this grounding, they compete with the other members of their polity on behalf of themselves, not each other, hence they require regulation through the institutions of property and marriage to limit negative externalities from their behaviour. If given power, these people will rationally vote in their self-interest to transfer wealth to themselves, not the collective interest to transfer wealth to their group.

    FOR SOVEREIGNS, TRUTH IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE AUTHORITY

    by Alex Sea

    Negotiation vs. Imposition

    Two sovereigns must appeal to truth as their ultimate authority – a low cost for them, as they are dealers in truth, but an exorbitant one to those who deal in falsehoods.

    The further from sovereignty a party is, the more costly the transaction is, as the sovereign must account for all parties between the two, and he ultimately appeals to truth on behalf of those who appeal to him, or suffers retaliation.

    In interactions between sovereign and citizen, the citizen must appeal to sovereign, the sovereign to truth. Between sovereign and Freeman, the Freeman to sovereign, the sovereign to citizen and truth. Etc, down to enemy.

    The sovereign’s decision must be bearable to all above the party being directly dealt with and is imposed upon all those below that party – within boundaries that balance the cost of the imposition and their agency.

    For people who desire sovereignty, sovereigns are cheaper than citizens, citizens cheaper than freemen, freemen cheaper than serfs, serfs cheaper than slaves, and slaves cheaper than enemies.

  • Q&A WHAT HAPPENS IN A SOVEREIGN SOCIETY IF I GET PEOPLE TOGETHER TO COME TAKE YO

    Q&A WHAT HAPPENS IN A SOVEREIGN SOCIETY IF I GET PEOPLE TOGETHER TO COME TAKE YOUR THINGS?

    Under a judge of last resort (hereditary monarch); an independent judiciary with rule of law, natural law, and universal standing; a market for the production of commons consisting of houses for each of the classes and genders, a insurer of last resort (treasury); every-enfranchised-man-a-sheriff; and every enfranchised man a member of the militia; that I would merely ask either the sheriff, or the court, to demand restitution and prevent further incursion. And that the sheriff would gather other enfranchised men and members of the militia if necessary, to achieve that goal – including me.

    ( I realize it is very hard to abandon god; very hard to abandon religion; and it is very hard to abandon platonism (fantasy ‘rights’). And actually reduce ‘magical-stuff-happens-here’ to ‘this sequence of events would occur’. But we all must grow up some day. Or at least enough of us must. 😉 )
