“While egalitarians very often take the moral high ground, claiming hierarchical institutions to be categorically immoral and, by comparison, their own system of equality to be the most moral, this is far from the case. Egalitarianism blurs morality, often even dividing it between people. It fosters moral relativism and causes people to lose their own sense of right and wrong. In fact, all right and wrong effectively becomes legal and illegal, and even this is a matter of pure arbitration.

By no realistic means can one argue consistently that natural order, an albeit hierarchical society built on nature’s given institutions of private property and a law nobody is exempt from or able to manipulate, is morally inferior to the relativist cesspool that the democratic, socialistic states have created today.”
Matthew S. Battaglioli

“The state's monopoly on the military, entirely tax funded, is used by this elite to wage war after war between the dominant state (in this day and age, the United States), and other, weaker states, propping up more central banks and forcing these other states to adopt their currency or peg their currency to it. Now there is twofold inflation: that which occurs through the dominant state and holder of the "reserve currenc", and that which occurs externally, by its respective satellite states abroad.

Predictably, a world of perpetual war is created, since there is heavy influence on the state by this banking class to use its military to wage these wars to benefit this elite (and indirectly the political class since they are often cut in on the profits), but furthermore, the state's military is entirely tax funded; nobody organizing this democratic show nor working within it bears the cost of this agressive military state. Because of this, there is virtually no incentive to avoid warfare and heavy incentives to engage in it.”
