war on drugs because we hate you

WAR ON DRUGS BECAUSE WE HATE YOU

Aesop over at HERE is not a big supporter of legalizing drugs. His arguments make sense, from his perspective as a medical dude ( we differ slightly on most things, but hold similar enough views we could probably remain civil in a discussion. I think. For instance, I don't agree with holding hospital standards of sanitation over into home life. Too much washing of hands keeps you from building an immunity ). From an anthropological view I agree with his stance. Where the argument falls apart is when you carry tribal rules over into imperial forms of government.

Why are we having this discussion at a survivalist publication? Because the more you know about the man behind the curtain, the less likely it is that you will be fooled and the less you are fooled the easier it is to decipher the coming attempts at assaulting you from the power center during Spicy Times. Now, let's get one thing out of the way right now. Libertarians are ill informed and blinded by ideology. I know, I was one for a long time. I don't hate them for it, but am more saddened. They have a far too narrow view of life, confusing a philosophy with an instruction manual.

*

Philosophy is at times ill prepared to fill in for policy. For instance, “A woman's body is her own property”, or, “the draft is involuntary servitude”, or “immigration isn't a problem with private property” ( this last one takes the position that the government should own no land, everything is private property and you are afforded freedom of movement as long as the property owner consents. If I'm translating the Libertarian Party's stance correctly ). All the above is Libertarian Philosophy. And all is horse crap.

*

The Libertarians oppose the nation state. And while it is true that the nation loves to abuse its citizens on occasion, on a personal level they do allow quite a bit of freedom. For instance, Hitler, in a very top down government prone to liquidating dissent, never ORDERED women to have more children for the greater good of the Reich. It was all persuasion and perhaps tax incentives. In a tribe, on the other hand, it is pretty much mandatory that women MUST breed. I'll delve deeper into that below. In a nation, if your abilities allowed, you can always opt out of the draft.

*

In a tribe, you had no choice but to be a warrior, for all intents and purposes. A tribe severely restricts freedom, far more than the nation. You are more equal, but everyone shares in the obligation to the tribe at personal expense. In a tribe, you keep what the tribe allows and share communally everything else. Private property CAN be much more generous in a nation. In essence, in a tribe there is a lot LESS selfishness. And we do not care because that burden is shared equally.

*

It is when a class system develops and the burden is unequal that issues with social disruption arise. The Libertarians solution is to abolish all class by abolishing government ( class is still allowed, economically. Which is okay because there are no barriers to advancement except ability ). The problem with this is that it doesn't work in the real world. It violates biology, and I don't care how great your design is, if it violates nature it won't work. Humans compete against each other. And they always will. That is our nature.

*

But, Jim! If we just all hug and sing Kumbaya and embrace The Philosophy ( plus super pinky promise to come together to smite any evil that doesn't agree with our non-initiating of violence pledge ), our society will prosper. Except, oops!, human nature has made us greedy and short sighted and did so to further the species survival chances. Greed is good, but not as Ayn Rand envisioned. Greed ensures we want MORE, and the only way to get MORE is to fight for it. Having gotten MORE, we deny others the ability to survive in a resource scarcity. MORE is simply the human version of a chipmunk stashing seeds for the winter.

*

Look, this isn't rocket science. Two tribes, each on their own side of the border and each with enough to eat. But since humans grow and overcome their resource base ( as do ALL life forms, given the chance ), eventually the food runs out. They then can attack the neighbors for more food. However, that is inefficient. By that time Team A is weak from hunger and Team B might also be running out. If, on the other hand, A attacks B when both are strong and well equipped, B disappears and A has twice the surplus.

*

They can go on to conquer C, and have triple the resources. Hence does the species always ensure survival in times of trouble. That is why the US with a minority of the global population controls ( well, DID control ) the majority of the energy. Energy equals food. That is the Way Of Things. If we all just got fat and lazy in Libertarian Land, once we populated past our food supply, we would all die together. Everyone was a winner until all lost. In Reality Land, there are always winners at the expense of losers so the winners make it through Bad Times.

*

So as much as I love the philosophy of Libertarianism, it isn't feasible. Even if it is ONLY a philosophy, as in, “minimize government to the fullest extent”, it still violates biology. Because if men do not fight and women do not breed, their group WILL be overcome by an enemy that does. So giving women control of their bodies guarantees that those free women eventually are enslaved or killed. Just as making women independent means they are abused and victimized. If independent, they have no male guardian and hence are fair game to all.

*

When the tribe owns a woman's womb, it becomes a resource worth protecting. Because she has value resupplying war machines. Once she becomes a free agent and chooses to NOT breed, she has little value ( despite what today's women are taught, they have little to no sexual value without reproductive capacity. And also despite what stupid bitches think, marriage ensures by force value past reproductive age. That is to her advantage. Duh ). In effect, all the problems stemming from Libertarianism are shared by capitalism. It assumes Surplus Forever.

*

Human nature is perfectly adapted to Perpetual Scarcity. Capitalism and Libertarianism is a perfect system for Perpetual Surplus. But they are greenhouse flowers unable to survive out of their artificial environment. This is why I now lean closer to fascism. It has far better tribal characteristics than capitalism. Just beware that fascism does NOT mean you want to BBQ all Jews on sight. That was just ONE countries brand of fascism. The US, until the collapse in the 1960's, was heavily fascist. It just had odd characteristics due to having a central bank. Not all forms of fascism are the same. I'll cover more the problems with tribal thinking applied to the nation state, tomorrow.
