probably one of the most under-theorized aspects of the development of property relations is that in pre-modernity transfer of property title was practically an epiphenomenon of genealogy, & since modernity "natural" assumption is that they're orthogonal. that's *weird*.

every human society reproduces its technological and productive capacity concurrently with its biological reproduction of itself -- to a significant extent humanity (literally, human biology) and capital *produce each other*.

I don’t know what to tell you man. You stopped talking anything that is identifiable to me as leftism a long time ago. I have some issues with your definition of nrx, but on gnon, reproduction as escape from cage, reactionaries not on the side of neoreactionaries, all reasonable

On capital, ok, no problem. I have written against both freedom and the pursuit of happiness in the past, as well. At this point I can’t really tell what you mean by leftism. It feels to me that you call yourself a leftist while your actual ideas have totally diverged from it

I think he thinks nrx is just rebranded libertarianism... and a lot of nrx is former libertarian so I can see why one would make that mistake

NRx is libertarianism that bites the bullet and recognizes that all of their arguments aren't essentially about liberty at all, they're about security - so in a sense it's a very, very pure libertarianism, but that is what allows it to stop being libertarianism

that's why we don't care very much about free markets or free labor flows or weed

I think I make a point of saying "classical liberal" instead of "libertarian" in recognition of that. if anything NRx is more like classical liberalism for people who *have* noticed libertarianism is kind of dumb.

Of the three pillars of liberalism NRx rejects two of them - universality and equality and accepts liberty only for practical reasons A king has to allow his subjects liberty because otherwise he is controlled by the bureaucrats to whom he grants power

The libertarian critiques of leftist economics are all correct but naive - leftism is merely a plausible sounding justification for the empowering of leftists. That leftist economics ends up with a non-functioning economy but full employment for leftists is no accident
