    THE SUPERIORITY OF MONARCHY

    —“There is little doubt that the American Congress or the French Chambers have a power over their nations which would rouse the envy of 21 Louis XIV or a George III, were they alive today. Not only prohibition, but also the income tax declaration, selective service, obligatory schooling, the finger-printing of blameless citizens, premarital blood tests—none of these totalitarian measures would even the royal absolutism of the seventeenth century have dared to introduce.”— Kuehnelt-Leddihn

    While partly the influence of technology more than democracy, there is no question that we were more free under the monarchies. But then, the desire of few men is to be free.

    Rent seeking is preferable to production.

    LARGE STATES ARE VULNERABLE – NOT TO CONSENSUS BUT TO SINGLE ACTORS.

    From Eli Harman

    —“Regarding the problems of centralized states. These fall into three categories, problems of knowledge, interest, and power. These can be solved ultimately only by competition, accountability, and division of power. But coercive territorial monopolies may be the most suitable forms for providing public goods and suppressing free-riding locally.”—

    —“Advances in technology favor the offense. And this is why large states will break down and be replaced by small states, because large states won’t be able to defend their territories, populations and economies. A world of large states is fragile. A world of small, competitive states is robust and antifragile.”—

    THE FALLACY OF STARTING WITH THE ASSUMPTION YOU HAVE PROPERTY RIGHTS RATHER THAN NEEDING TO CONSTRUCT THEM

    If you have no property rights, but only permission from the state, to use its property in certain fashion, then the state cannot aggress against your property – nor can anyone else, except to the extent determined by the state.

    To defend against this argument you must counter that natural rights exist like a soul, or are merely an allegory to contract rights, envisioned out of necessity for flourishing – or some other magical concept. Despite the fact that, contradictory to universal claims, nowhere on earth do private property rights exist. They are profoundly unnatural.

    All that is necessary for cooperation is the institution of property. The scope of property is not defined by the means of transgression against property. We can only possibly hold a right that we have obtained in contract. The contract for property rights in the absence of a state can only be constructed by individuals exchanging the promise of defense in response to transgression, and the means of aggressively constructing those rights . The only means of preventing the universally extant violations of those rights obtained in such a contract, and reciprocally insured via that contract, is the organized application of violence against the state.

    So it is an erroneous assumption, and a convenient one, that you start from a position of liberty, rather than start from a position of needing to construct liberty.

    Intersubjectively verifiable property is a fallacy. Aggression is a fallacy. Natural rights are a fallacy. Crusoe’s Island is a fallacy. Man evolved from consanguineous bands by suppressing free riding, thereby pressing all into participation in production. Property is the natural result of suppressing free riding. At all points and at all times property is constructed by resisting free riding. Property results from the suppression of free riding. The origin of private property as we understand it occurred when Indo European cattle raiders were able to concentrate extraordinary wealth under pastoralism, by way of organized violence and they kept what they obtained in those raids. This is the origin of property: the organized application of violence against free riding.

    People who are unwilling to enter the contract for organized violence in order to construct property rights both in contract and in daily practice (as a norm), are merely free riders (thieves) from those who are willing to act to construct property rights in contract and in daily practice (as a norm).

    In other words, by claiming you have ‘natural rights’ you’re not only demonstrably wrong, but just trying to obtain property rights at a discount by free riding on the efforts of those who do construct property rights.

    So, you’re not only wrong, but a dishonest, free riding thief, like statists you condemn are.

    As far as I know this argument is bulletproof.

    “The name of peace is sweet, and the thing itself is beneficial, but there is a great difference between peace and servitude. Peace is freedom in tranquility, servitude is the worst of all evils, to be resisted not only by war, but even by death.” – Cicero

    DEAR KIEV

    Please get the government to run this:

    “If you want a rifle and 200 rounds of ammunition, bring your passport and $250, take a four hour course with 100 other people, we’ll stamp your passport, and you can have an AK47 fresh out of storage. One stamp per person. Period. Training held twice a day right in the main square until people stop coming.”

    Welcome to freedom. The militia. The only guarantee of freedom a people ever has.

    Freedom is obtained, and maintained, at the point of a gun. Pacifists are free riders, liars and thieves.

    —“Kyiv has a large strategic reserve of Kalashnikov assault rifles and other light weapons—around 5 million pieces—as a mobilization reserve dating back to Soviet times. It has made clear to the Kremlin that it is now considering the possibility of opening up this stockpile to its citizens in East Ukraine. At least half this reserve is concentrated near Sloviansk and it is the reason that Russian special forces were sent there to secure the area.”—-

    DEAR UKRAINIAN FRIENDS – CHARGE RUSSIA FOR CRIMEA IN GAS

    Russia stole territory. Lets just estimate the value of Crimea and the oil and gas fields. Say, at $4T Euros. So we will just take $4T euros as gas as payment for the seized territory at 22% interest, which is the going rate for high risk capital. This means Ukraine will not have to pay for gas for many years.

    If they don’t like it then we must collect our debt from Russia forcibly.

    I think that’s a pretty good deal. Don’t you?
