RE: “By the Power Vested in Me” Kokesh 2020 Chooses Platform Over Property

in #anarchy6 years ago

What exactly are you objecting to? Assuming the ridiculous long-shot odds of 34% of Americans voting to have Mr. AK become the executor of this "bankruptcy" account, I ask: where is the downside (morally) for him to split up the assets and send them back to the states, respectfully? What else should be done with all this stolen property? The taking of WDC is no different than assuming control of a pirate ship. Is force not justified in that endeavor?

As for the debt to the banksters? Sorry, their counterfeit currency operation never legitimately loaned "money" ... it loaned promissory notes for pre-existing promissory notes, compounded in effect by "fractional reserve" lending. Those "debts" are right to be erased, instantaneously... and frankly, the Kokesh regime, before disbanding, should place every one of them in Guantanamo Bay prison for Treason, Theft, Fraud, Conspiracy and Counterfeiting. But I understand dealing with anarchos and the "justice system"......... What justice system?

Sort:  

I stated exactly what I object to in the video. His plan violates natural law and libertarian property ethic. I don't know how to state it in a clearer manner. Let me give an example. Let's say you live next to a national park and hunt there, fish there, hike there.

According to libertarian property norms, if this land were "unowned" as it technically is already, and definitely would be in the case of the erasure of the "debts," you and your fellow locals who have already mixed their labor with the land, and have the closest objective, intersubjectively ascertainable link to the land, are the one's to whom it should rightfully go, allowing your community of individual property owners to decide what should be done with it.

Now imagine I show up and say. "See all these national parks? I own them. But just for a second. Me and my friends...ahem..."custodians" will decide how they will be used." Clearly this is no different than voting to leverage political force to get one's way, which Kokesh has explicitly stated, several times over, vocally and in writing, that he is opposed to.

The error in your analogy involving the pirate ship is the same one Kokesh makes when he describes what he is planning to do as coming across a stolen motorcycle on the highway, and returning it. These are both one-to-one, concrete situations. A pirate ship is a single thing belonging to some individual(s). So is a motorcycle. Vast swathes of land, people, and resources are not a single thing to be comandeered. "America" is an abstraction, as is "government." Claiming ownership over this abstraction, and in effect, everyone and everything within the geo-social-political boundaries, even for a short time, and then issuing an executive order (which by definition depends on force to be enacted) is NOT A LIBERTARIAN PLAN.

This is basic, kids' stuff, really, but sadly the wide-eyed Kokesh-ites appear to have found their god. That's great. Just stop calling it voluntaryism. It's not. That's not even debatable.
