> It’s a good thing the Allies banned him from writing after WW2 because maybe he would have had to revisit the superiority of gemeinschaft over gessellschaft
Carl Schmidt didn't stop publishing, he published two original political pieces after the end of the war and did an update to Political Theology (also a literary critism piece). The theory of partisan (based on the lectures in Francois Spain in 1962) about the legal status of non-state combatants, and The Nomos of the Earth which reframes the themes of Leviathan, concerning itself with legal system of states, empires, colonies and breakdown of Westphalian system.
With the international trade and Slobodian, I'm not entirely sure how you can build a system of the adjuciation and the law that doesn't circumvent the national courts because democratic or not political systems don't have exactly good attitude towards foreigner owners, foreign trade, and foreign contracts, and have consistent hysterical meltdown about anything connected to them in all countries, and you need to somehow enforce something related to two+ parties in different jurisdictions for them to think that it's kinda fair.
Slobodian in his book generally has advocated for a system of "one nation, one vote" in setting the international trade and financial institutions and was unhappy that nothing close to it got achieved, but he didn't really make any coherent case why it would be good, why anyone in their right mind would agree on following the rules that are voted in this manner (like the US has been generally torpoeding WTO procedings even during Biden by not appointing judges).
The system in which you have universal well defined and easy to applied rules is more or less the only system you can have it. If you want to have "democracy" like Slobodian or smart ad hoc solutions like Rodrik advocated for years, you will never be able to actually adjudicate them, there will be never any coherent rules, it will be not a system of rules, but mad politically driven bilateralism.
Thank you for including so many links in your articles. As someone without formal training in economics I always learn a lot from the papers you link to.
Property rights demand coercion. Fine if the majority want it. But when too concentrated, they form a club and if that club sneezes, the rest of the World catches a cold. Ossification of past achievement by naked coercion defines Nimby, so it makes sense for the space/sea/bald guys.
War profiteering is at worst Neocon left-wing fascism. But gaydolph's a coercion-profiteer. Occam's razor aside, he might expect his club to be the ones wielding the club at the end. Men love gambling esp with Long Knives. Ozempic for the y-chromosome will actually end history. Coalitioning with other people that only agree on coercion and anti-social behavior can never work - too much diversity of thought.
I'm not an economic or societrist. But I'd adjust expenses downwards and agglomeration upwards for the middle/working class. Could be an inequality improvement that also lets you pack the blue and empty the red.
The internet and its infinite choir might mean nazi-demand always finds nazi-supply. Truly, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good liberal corporations to do nothing.
The lack of state capacity is a comfort. Means they care mostly about grifting, fascist shitposting, and national suicide. Alligator Alcatraz was the architecture-version of JD Vance's entire gimmick. They want to de-power the rootless consensus but can't build for shit. They did not inherit the Weimar.
Turns out enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-fwend is dumb even if applied to coup d'état guy. The ridiculous "vibe-shift" was defeatism - but also hysteria built off the euphoric assumption that unlimited power lust meant he'd fulfill an enemies-2-lover arc with America and satisfy their every personal desire on their half-drumpt up docket. But turns out he lies and rapes. Whadaya gonna do, wait for Jan 6 2 ?
also, why so hard good number up; bad number down. :(
A minor nitpick:

Small correction: The author of The Bell Curve is *Charles* Murray, not Douglas Murray. According to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Member_of_the_Mont_Pelerin_Society and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Rothbard) Charles Murray and Murray Rothbard are/were members of the Mont Perelin Society, but I can't find anything about Douglas Murray being a member.
