My Libertarianism
Where does a man sit politically in this day and age? With the majority? If you wish to prevail, but rarely is it possible that you’re the majority mind-holder when aligning with the majority. So your first surrender of principle is individuality and to the consensus of a majority of unfixed duration. As your desires are whittled you settle to your minimal seat of political goal.
Minimally, what does the State provide as a unifying set of principles, or rights? A rock provides a solid seat of one anchor point, possibly a tipping point. Two equal weights are a continual teeter-totter, but the state requires more certainty than just up/down, good/evil, waste/efficiency, etc. Three legs to our stool then, three pillars of principle should be quite optimistic, along the lines of the public weal, Health, Wealth, and Wisdom, as example, but less euphemistic.
Of the State, minimally, should not the citizen expect a sound measure of peace, justice and currency? There are myriad of ways
to provide for the weal, the assumed most basic function of this being taxation and spending, income and allocation. There is the top-town approach, professional and bureaucratic, full of edict and law complete with bureaucracy, the trappings of religion. This is not to say that government brings in a religion but becomes one unto itself. Religion in all forms, by its very nature, is tyrannical.
From the State the charge of the citizenry is thus, protect my life and in doing so, do not curtail my life nor limit my acquisition. The first step in the State’s curtailing and governing these aspects of life is to put lien on life and property. They can do this directly, or indirectly, with force or by compliance.
Government is not eloquence and always chooses to be the brute. It is quicker, easier and yields great reward. They must steal your liberty to do this by becoming involved in your every property transaction (and you are your own property if you are not a slave or ward [possession] of the State).
When you fight and squabble over just what kind of brutish tyrant rules you, you lose track of the idea that taxation should be voluntary and private. This is better done in decentralized fashion, at the point of sale. As we move faster into an electronic cryptocurrency age this is going to become an automatic. Just one tax, one time, on one new, final, retail purchase. No reporting on “who.” A sale took place for n dollars and this much was collected in tax and this is public knowledge.
And you do not have to do a damned thing, not even throw protection money at politicians. You take away their ability to tax you to match their desire to spend. Even worse, you take away their ability to pick winners and losers and most likely, pick you to be a loser if you live among people who vote “wrongly.”
There’s just one of you.
You are either intrigued by the idea or anathema to it.
To the latter, a betting mans says, no reason economic: Igor’s Goat.
