Civilization is impossible without protection for property and contract rights. From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
property is civilizational bedrock: without property, there can be neither liberty nor safety
i stand, as ever, in unmitigated awe of the simple things that people seem able to not only forget but outright abnegate in their ongoing search for civilizational dissolution. of all such takes, this one has a special place in my heart as a near flawless platonic-form shibboleth for the venn intersect of ethical (and personal) cowardice and the inability to think in second or third order systems.
if one’s desire is to loudly proclaim “i am a moral failure as a human, unfit to support the social contract, and easy pickings for any who would prey upon me,” well, this would be a difficult set of utterances upon which to improve.
wow.
just wow.
let’s create a framework here by which we can assess this.
“The notion that people should use violence to defend their property is INSANE.”
this is fundamentally indefensible.
Property is theft to the comrades.
Imagine a one world workers utopia.
Imagine is right comrade Lenin as you have to be high or asleep.
