...Here's an addendum to my comment about Mises.<br />From Planned Chaos<br />"However, all the methods of interventionism are doomed to failure. This means: the interventionist<br />measures must needs result in conditions which from the point of view of their own advocates are more<br />unsatisfactory than the previous state of affairs they were designed to alter. These policies are therefore<br />contrary to purpose."<br /><br />Mises was ruthlessly logical and pragmatic. You say that you want to increase the standard of living for the poor; he shows you why your chosen means do not match your stated ends. <br /><br />It was not until Rothbard's keen political insight that Mises' method was turned to shine light on the question: Why do elites stated ends never match their chosen means? From which wellspring we get such insights as the ones proffered above: maybe the elites know that free-markets are solutions to problems they don't want solved.Alaska3636https://www.blogger.com/profile/13251275012030359766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-75820854199454067922016-07-14T13:33:35.177-07:002016-07-14T13:33:35.177-07:00Something like this is where we are at??

They see themselves as *better* than "white," and see White European Christians as their main obstacle to total global dominance. They created Marxism to subsidize and promulgate the mediocrity of humanity at everyone else's expense (except their own, of course), dragging the rest of humanity down to the animal level, which is what their beliefs tell them we all are, anyway. Only THEY are *truly* human, according to their sacred texts.<br /><br />Their next step includes an orchestrated global financial collapse, to wipe out 90% of the "useless eaters." But "useless" to them, strictly speaking, simply means: not one of them by bloodline. They may sterilize any of their number with obvious congenital defects, but rest assured, the eugenics program they will carry out on the rest of us will be brutal and unforgiving. We "beasts of the fields" will be culled, and bred, to serve them.<br /><br />Fortunately, the masses, particularly the "white" masses, are being awakened to this centuries-long agenda. More and more people, initially horrified by the suggestion of these facts, as was I myself, are doing the independent research and are coming to realize: "My god, it's true! All of it is true!"<br /><br />What is to be done about it can be the subject of considerable debate. But understanding the true reality of the situation is an essential first step to finding a viable solution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-75759998910053061852016-07-13T07:04:40.802-07:002016-07-13T07:04:40.802-07:00I'm not supposed to tell:

Once that is done we will focus on the remaining African/Middle East population using the Crispr/Cas9 system to target either mitochondrial DNA of these groups or Y-chromosome markers (to induce sterility, fast-acting cancers, or whatever we feel like). We are currently sponsoring research which looks good on using adenovirus delivery systems.

There are only so many palaces in which he and his retinue can live, so many banquets at which they can feast, so many vacations and entertainments of which they can avail themselves, so many rockets to the moon. They would need X number of individuals to provide and maintain these things. The remaining population would be surplus. There would be no reason to sustain it. The surplus could fend for it by whatever means it might choose so long as it didn't become a nuisance.<br /><br />Simplistic, of course. But I wonder if the hegemony of a white elite, in a world increasingly non-white and angry, could continue to rule and protect itself. Genocide of undesirables may be an attractive option if it were possible and if the ruling faction(s) of the elite were sufficiently inhuman and ruthless. Eliminating the "carriers" of classical liberalism, the ideological threat to the elite's dominance, may be desirable as a kind of insurance against troublesome questioning and potential rebellion festering in the pacified and controlled populace, though maybe not as, in one swift strike to drive the message home, the sword severs the pen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-915545065044849022016-07-13T05:19:42.910-07:002016-07-13T05:19:42.910-07:00As I think about it, most of the tactics of the el...As I think about it, most of the tactics of the elite center on creating a society with a very high time preference, where people prefer instant gratification over self-discipline and long-term investment. The marks of this kind of society would be:<br /><br />-subjective sexual ethics and a rise in "alternative" lifestyles<br />-sexualization of young people<br />-youth-obsessed culture<br />-entertainment-obsessed culture <br />-decline in marriage and childbirth<br />-consumption over production<br />-increasing minimum wages<br />-demand for "safe spaces"<br /><br />A high time preference, combined with a sense of entitlement, creates a demand for positive "rights" that can only be secured through government intervention. So the State becomes the opiate of the masses. C.

Let the people have their silly social rights: speech, religion, etc. That doesn't cost the elite any. But economic rights must be curtailed because it is the only force which can turn a pauper (ok, ok, a middle class person) into a billionaire - and vice versa. <br /><br />Were I one of the elite, I would ensure that no one could rise to take my place just by offering a better deal to "my" customers. Hence mercantilism, government enforced cartels and monopolies, revolving doors, insider trading etc. All designed to nullify competition.<br /><br />Igor KarbinovskiyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-26597049311506063612016-07-12T12:02:28.995-07:002016-07-12T12:02:28.995-07:00Mises was not a utilitarian in the generally accep...Mises was not a utilitarian in the generally accepted usage of the word:<br />"the doctrine that actions are right if they are useful or for the benefit of a majority.<br />the doctrine that an action is right insofar as it promotes happiness, and that the greatest happiness of the greatest number should be the guiding principle of conduct."<br /><br />Here is a (very) good explanation from Danny Sanchez:<br />https://mises.org/library/defense-misess-utilitarianism<br /><br />Mises conclusions regarding the proliferation of free-market solutions, including the increasing standard of living, are apodictic. They are also wert frei, or value free, observations of the natural outcomes of human action. Capital accumulation in Mises' view seems be (and I agree) a natural phenomena of the market calculation of scarce resources.<br /><br />He would have said: if increasing the overall standard of living is your end, then free market solutions are the means. He does not and did not need to make utilitarian "calculations" in making this statement.<br /><br />One reason Austrian free-market ideas, and free-market solutions in general, are suppressed is because they necessitate churn in the social classes as people succeed and fail in their pricing calculations. Elites want to remain elite and thus propose a policies that tend towards stratification rather than churn. To be elite in this day and age means to be insulated against consequences of poor decisions.<br /><br />On another note: Mises was critical of classical liberalism and his opus, Human Action, was generated by his desire to see economics rebuilt from a consistent framework that he saw lacking in historical schools of thought.Alaska3636https://www.blogger.com/profile/13251275012030359766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-40287036524735215532016-07-12T11:11:35.718-07:002016-07-12T11:11:35.718-07:00Hear, hear!Hear, hear!C.
