Good reading so far. And a blow by blow expansion of Plato's thesis that Democracy is a governmental form to be avoided at all costs. A sentiment echoed by de Tocqueville over two millennia later.

Democracy and ‘progressive democracy’ are synonymous, and indistinguishable from the expansion of the state. Whilst ‘extreme right wing’ governments have, on rare occasions, momentarily arrested this process, its reversal lies beyond the bounds of democratic possibility. Since winning elections is overwhelmingly a matter of vote buying, and society’s informational organs (education and media) are no more resistant to bribery than the electorate, a thrifty politician is simply an incompetent politician, and the democratic variant of Darwinism quickly eliminates such misfits from the gene pool. This is a reality that the left applauds, the establishment right grumpily accepts, and the libertarian right has ineffectively railed against. Increasingly, however, libertarians have ceased to care whether anyone is ‘pay[ing them] attention’ – they have been looking for something else entirely: an exit.

It is a structural inevitability that the libertarian voice is drowned out in democracy, and according to Lind it should be. Ever more libertarians are likely to agree. ‘Voice’ is democracy itself, in its historically dominant, Rousseauistic strain. It models the state as a representation of popular will, and making oneself heard means more politics. If voting as the mass self-expression of politically empowered peoples is a nightmare engulfing the world, adding to the hubbub doesn’t help. Even more than Equality-vs-Liberty, Voice-vs-Exit is the rising alternative, and libertarians are opting for voiceless flight. Patri Friedman remarks: “we think that free exit is so important that we’ve called it the only Universal Human Right.”

1. Land contradicts himself when implying that it's even possible for libertarians, whom he previously, and correctly, identifies with being a partner in the statist 'Voice', to "exit"...

...for, only individuals can "exit", and the actual lead-up to that fantastically liberating move begins and entails the process of purifying that individual of practically all political connection to 'Voice'. And, once that move is made, the path of inalienable independence is the way the individual then trods naturally.

The independent individual still inherently longs for her/his voice to be heard, but the actual desire for his/her voice to be heard within the chorus of 'Voice' is no longer present at all. Rather, the natural anonymous equality of this age's Internet - vs yesterday's political arena - is the perfect stage for the free and healthy exchange of the glorification of individual liberty and self-government;

2. I've never once in all my years politically viewed myself as anything but independent, and I've also always seemed to realize that exiting that God-given independence automatically would place me in the partisan political arena the overwhelming vast majority of folks seem to be bred into themselves; ie, I've always been ideologically outside of 'Voice', thus no mental "exit" was ever required.

Yet, even though I was spiritually free (so-to-speak), I was still, in fact, imprisoned by the physical incarnation of majority rule 'Voice' naturally and always creates to lord over all...

...today, with 8 years now of pioneering, it's interesting to read someone talking about "exiting", the only avenue available for anyone who actually longs for truth and meaning in this politically-corrupted, 'Voice'-commanded world.

That's pretty long, I'll have to peruse it later, but many people Hayek, Mises, started out on the Socialist side of things and really believed that Liberal mantra of an open and inquisitive mind. Even ol' Milton F. became less of a monetarist and more of a Rothbardian in his later years.

But RON! those are OUR jets now.

Yes. Turning the Senate over to the mob was such a short-sighted expedient in cleaning up the corruption...

I'm not sure what to make of Nick Land. There's this whole movement of so called "accelerationists" that he was associated with: former Marxists who have decided that the only way past capitalism is through it at top speed. I don't know how serious he is, how much is ironic, and how much is just about shocking his former colleagues who are now "the squares". But I thought you'd like it.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Why is it that in all of these threads, it is the Yellow Dawg Democrat Throb who is simply incapable of holding a conversation, especially one that requires some reading?


He saw two letters, AJ, and decided to get him in some keyboard ju-jitsu practice.


He continues to make my point about Democrats.



Yeah! Team! GO!!! WIN!!!



Hate all others!

Look at the guy who advised Obama to go political, the former Communist, I think the name was Drew...



Now he's a conservative and a racist for trying to inform us as to the President's political leanings, as if his actual deeds do not out and belie him.

Public message board, Chief.

You want a private convo, take it to PM.

And for the record, I wasn't even talking to you or even about you in this thread.

Go be a victim somewhere else.

You should be feeling pretty st-st-stupid.. You should at least view post before you go all victim-y.

But why bother when you need to wave your "I'm a victim" flag?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

These guys know they are on ignore, but they just cannot help themselves.


I am heap powerful enemy and a man's dick size is known by his imaginary enemies!

You think rosco respects you as Democrats? or do you even suspect that he might be ashamed of your Low Information Voter Evidence (LIVE)?

 

[RobDownSouth]

Stop whining, AJ, it's unmanly.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I see dead dicks getting bigger...
