Axioms of Liberty

It is said that without governments we should not have those institutions, enlightening, educational and public, that are needful for all. But why should we suppose this? Why think that non-official people could not arrange their life themselves as well as government people arrange it, not for themselves, but for others?

we learn today about a lesser known sub division of anarchy , Anarco-communism . we also go into the flawed logic in its assumptions and reasonings at the end of the episode.

The first proclaims the sovereignty of the State, the second recognizes no sort of sovereign. One wishes all monopolies to be held by the State the other wishes the abolition of all monopolies. One wishes the governed class to become the governing class; the other wishes the disappearance of classes.

Every logical and sincere theory of the State is essentially founded on the principle of authority—that is to say on the eminently theological, metaphysical and political idea that the masses, always incapable of governing themselves, must submit at all times to the benevolent yoke of a wisdom and a justice, which in one way or another, is imposed on them from above. But imposed in the name of what and by whom? Authority recognized and respected as such by the masses can have only three possible sources—force, religion, or the action of a superior intelligence; and this supreme intelligence is always represented by minorities.

Government, strictly and scientifically speaking is a coercive force; a man, while governed with his own consent, is not governed at all.

we again perceive that even in its most equitable form it is impossible for government to dissociate itself from evil; & further, that, unless the right to ignore the State is recognized, its acts must be essentially criminal.

we begin reading Michael Malice's book the anarchists handbook For the State it is indispensable that nobody have anown will if one had, the State would have to exclude (lock up, banish, etc.) this one; if all had, they would do away with the State. The State is not thinkable without lordship and servitude (subjection); for the State must will to be the lord of all that it embraces, and this will is called the “will of the State.”The State practices “violence,” the individual mustnot do so. The State's behavior is violence, and it calls its violence “law”; that of the individual, “crime.” Crime, then—so the individual's violence is called; and only by crime does he overcome the State's violence when he thinks that the State is not above him, but he is above the State.

to those challenging the idea of a private market for security would have to be: what about you? What would your reaction be? Does your fear of outlaw companies mean that you would then go out and engage in trade with a security producer that aggressed against other people and their property, and would you continue supporting it if it did?

The monopoly problem as a special problem of markets requiring state action to be resolved does not exist In fact, only when the state enters the scene does a real, nonillusory problem of monopoly and monopoly prices emerge.

There can be no socialism without a state, and as long as there is a state there is socialism as socialism rests on aggressive violence directed against innocent victims, aggressive violence is the nature of any state.

in this episode we delineate the prior user-latecomer distinction. how argumentation of any sort presupposes this normative claim . how capitalism is the only justifiable economic process that adheres to this principle.

In any case, since the socialism of social engineering does not differ in principle from any of the other versions of socialism, in that it implies a redistribution of property titles away from the users and contractors of scarce resources and onto nonusers and noncontractors, it, too, raises the cost of production and so leads to a reduction in the production of wealth

what can be socialist about conservatism? would conservation be to retract all innovation? what methodologies does conservatism use to keep the economic order in check ?

somewhat ironically for a socialist party which argued that equalizing educational opportunities would imply an income transfer from the rich to the poor, in effect to a subsidy paid to the more intelligent at the expense of a complementary income reduction for the less intelligent https://geyser.fund/project/nowastebtcsigns?refId=Axioms

The modern slave is not kept in physical chains, as his physical freedom makes him too productive to restrain.

What subjectivism is in the realm of ethics, collectivism is in the realm of politics anything society does is right because society chose to do it is not a moral principle but a negation of moral principles & banishment of all morality from social issues.

There is no such dichotomy such as human rights VS. property rights no human rights can exist without property rights since goods are produced by men's mind and effort if he does not own the results he does not own his life.

there can be no compromise on moral principles, any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can benefit. It is the fear of moral responsibility the leads men to adopt an attitude of morale neutrality.

to be selfish is to be motivated by concern for ones own interest this requires that one consider what constitutes ones self interest and how to achieve it, one cannot be concerned with one desire that of which one does not know.

A rational man never holds a desire or pursues a goal which cannot be achieved by his own effort. He trades value for value. If a man pursues a goal the requires the effort of others, he seeks not anything but his own ability to persuade them to his goal.

Advocates of altruism are unable to base their ethics on any facts of men's normal existence and only offer "lifeboat" situations as examples in which to derive moral conduct. - Ayn Rand

Mans life and self esteem require that a man take pride in his power to think, pride in his power to live- but morality, men are taught, holds pride, and specifically intellectual pride, as the gravest of sins. -N.B.
