"Why, when, and how to abolish the United States", Unqualified Reservations (July 3, 2007). - Curtis Yarvin

The free market isn't something that just happens. It needs to be designed and invented. The past is at best an inspiration.

Cannot we marvel at what the Third Reich achieved, with the knowledge that it was run by a maniac? In the hands of a non-maniac, what might it have done? In the hands of an Augustus, for instance? Well, somewhere in Germany in 1933, there might have been an Augustus or two. Or even three. But Germany in 1933 was a democracy. And that democracy elected not Augustus, not Frederick the Great, not even Kaiser Bill. It elected — Wait. Who did it elect? Gee. I've forgotten already. I hate these migraines. An Austrian, I think. A sergeant? A private first-class? Someone like that. A man of the people, that's for sure. History is so confusing.

The artists of today produce kitsch because they're rebelling against a fictitious power structure by supporting a real one.
