A Shooter's Guide to Militant Libertarianism
I. Thank you for having me.
II. How the Communists, a group of disciplined fanatics, destroyed
a better order and replaced it with one of their own. (Anecdote
- 12 people, 6 revolvers)
A. How we cannot change a decayed social order as it is easier
to destroy rather than to build.
1. Lothrup Stoddard -- heredity based decay
"Civilizations, unlike living organisms, have no appointed
cycle of life and death. Given a high-type stock producing an
adequate quota of superior individuals, and a civilization might
be immortal.
Why, then, has this never occurred? It has not occurred mainly
because of three destructive tendencies which have always, sooner
or later, brought civilizations to decline and ruin. These tendencies
are: (1) the tendency to structural overloading; (2) the tendency
to biological regression; (3) the tendency to atavistic revolt.
Here are the three grim Nemeses that have dogged the footsteps
of the most promising peoples. Let us consider them in turn.
2. Lindstedt's Theory of Social Entropy, "In a closed social
system, the people by default demand stable environmental factors
which effectively negate necessary change by sapping both the
will and ability to make that change. Thus the social order declines
and is driven by fate because in a vast ocean of mediocrity there
is not enough the disorder of genius to effectively make change
possible."
a. Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin -- We have been weighted in the scales
and found wanting. Therefore the social-order barbarians will
destroy us. Prepare for your fate.
III. Rallying the people who matter: Make Rebels instead of
Converting Tories -- The John Galt maneuver: Cornering the market
on intelligence.
A. Isaiah's Job and Nock's remnant: (Anecdote)
1. It is the minority of thinkers who matter. A competition of
elites.
B. Rally the people who matter instead of wasting time and effort
in a futile attempt to change the overall system.
C. Practical Militant Libertarian Measures:
1. Form County committees as fortresses of strength in Indian
country.
2. Form ties with the Militia and Patriot movements, as there
are already Libertarians there
a. Anti-drug war conservatives who believe 2/3 of drugs smuggled
in by George Bush and Clinton through Mena.
b. Don't make fun of their religion and conspiracy theories: You
don't have to believe, just don't make fun.
D. Go with the Right. The Left is the bigger threat. And in a
world where the scarcest resource is thought, Libertarianism will
eventually rule.
