So..... Good idea, badly executed?

I can't speak on this one, it's not something I know about.

There's some horrible stuff back then, and even today. There's still Australian Aborginals . There might be no pureblood Tasmainan Aborginals, but there are at least half bloods, and there are quite a few from the mainland. On a similar note, there's still quite a few North American Indians...

I've never heard that. Where did you hear that?

Having looked into it again,(I hadn't, not in years) It's not as simple as I remembered. Some did sell their women. Some women ran away from their tribes, and stayed with the colonial workers. Some men rented out their women, and some women refused to have anything to do with the colonists...

I do have a bit of that. I've been lied to, a lot, so it can be difficult for me to see some of this stuff without assuming that it's not just another lie. As for Rapeheal Lemkin? I don't know anything about him. I just know a bit about the Australian academic community, and they're...

There's been a war in Australian Uni's for decades. A war over how the colonisation of Australia should be seen. The side who wants to blame the Brits for all bad things have been pushing the genocide line, often with scanty evidence, for decades. So, given the lady who put that together...

I haven't read that. Last I heard, there were no mass killings. There were claims, a while ago, but the evidence didn't support it (Remains, but they didn't show signs of violence). I know there were fights, and some deaths, but there were also a lot of selling their women, often for steel...

And, then you get the Australian Aboriginals. The reason there are zero pure Tasmanian Aboriginals is because they sold their women to the new European colonists, until there was pretty much none left. As in, all women were slaves of the tribe. Can't talk about that one, however. It's Racist...

A "tragedy of the commons" is when a communally property isn't maintained, because nobody is responsable for it. I'm not sure why you're adding that in. I won't bother with the Gold Standard stuff. We'd be better off if people couldn't just make this stuff up, even if the current system is...

Please note, while the Crusades were on, and all the Islamic attacks before and since? They didn't stop trade between Christians and Islamics. Barely slowed it down. Gold standard all the way around, at the time.

The whole point is that the raw material would be recognised by at least some in that society as of value beyond it's govenment mandated one. Today, everybody can create paper, and change electronic ones and zeros. They have effectively zero value beyond what is enforced by threat of force...

They would recognise the value of the raw material, that said coin was made of.

I don't know that one. But, I do know that Sparta, a few thousand years ago, deliberately had money in the form of iron bars, not gold or silver. You had to be strong to be a Spartan trader.

Efficiency. Not Cost Cutting. Efficiency improvments are when you get more for less, and that's good. Cost cutting might improve efficiency, but if you cut the cost of the most useful people for the least, you're not spending as much, but your efficiency over all goes down. Sometimes, a...

Still not Libertarians. Just lying.

That violates the most basic elements of being a Libertarian. As such, whatever they call themselves, they're not Libertarians. Libertarians, at the base of their "Theory", is about an indivduals actions, and owning the results, good and bad. The moment they start thinking about groups, and...

So.... Not Libertarians. Got it.

It's certainly a big factor. How big? Hard to say. I just don't rule out genetics existing, like so many do.
