Framework of the Future Far Right [View all]

I've mentioned Hans Hermann Hoppe a few times as people might have noticed. I personally find his writing extremely relevant for the future of the radical factions of the Republican party and their extralegal and pro-business allies. Here is a rough game plan for the radical action wing of the right: http://www.lewrockwell.com/2013/08/hans-hermann-hoppe/an-action-plan-for-anarcho-capitalists/

"Everything else falls almost automatically from the ultimate goal, which must be kept permanently in mind, in all of one’s activities: the restoration from the bottom-up of private property and the right to property protection; the right to self-defense, to exclude or include, and to freedom of contract. And the answer can be broken down into two parts.

First, what to do within these very small districts, where a pro-private property candidate and anti-majoritarian personality can win. And second, how to deal with the higher levels of government, and especially with the central federal government. First, as an initial step, and I’m referring now to what should be done on the local level, the first central plank of one’s platform should be: one must attempt to restrict the right to vote on local taxes, in particular on property taxes and regulations, to property and real estate owners. Only property owners must be permitted to vote, and their vote is not equal, but in accordance with the value of the equity owned, and the amount of taxes paid.

Further, all public employees — teachers, judges, policemen — and all welfare recipients, must be excluded from voting on local taxes and local regulation matters. These people are being paid out of taxes and should have no say whatsoever how high these taxes are. With this platform one cannot of course win everywhere; you cannot win in Washington, D.C. with a platform like this. But I dare say that in many locations this can be easily done. The locations have to be small enough and have to have a good number of decent people."

What you are seeing in the radical militia movement is an embracing of this process, and will likely be paired with a corporate centered attitude in the cities.
