I'm a bit of a Kant expert myself, if you know what I mean.

Smash Hoppephobia!

[@radiozelaza]

all historical evidence shows that civilization arose because of the rule-of-law, and territorial monopoly on the use of force is an integral part of strengthening the rule-of-law. If we look for example at Poland in 17th century, there is no central authority - and no rule of law. Peasants and burghers have no legal protection, noblemen are above the law. Noblemen actually are the law. King's courts have no recourse and no enforcement power. So if a nobleman is in conflict with another nobleman and the king's court decides in the favor of one or the other - there's no way to enforce the verdict, except for the hurt party to gather an armed posse and invade the offending nobleman's estate. This is the world Hoppe advocates for. A world of permanent conflict, uncertainty regarding law and enforcement of law, and no recognition of rights unless you have the might behind the rights.

Absolute Monarchy it is then.

[@radiozelaza]

@@NicholasSinard I've read all his books and they are ahistorical. That's the problem with rationalists.

[@radiozelaza]

@@snwlooner absolute monarchy is obviously better than lawlessness

Property is derived from power. You own something/yourself because you want to/have the will AND power to do. Property in abstract is meaningless. Unowned things are not property, act of taking over things makes things property. Public is a spook, so is public property.
