Crime

 

To minimize crime, it’s first necessary to know what crime is. Crime is fundamentally a violation of Natural Law; or a deprivation of liberty or justice; or a trespass of individual rights; or an attack upon people or property. All four definitions essentially mean the same.

Individuals can commit crimes, but so can groups, and also governments. Organized crime committed by a mafia usually violates Natural Law and individual rights worse than crime perpetrated by lone individuals; but institutional crime committed by a government is almost always far worse.

Human life is sacred and untouchable. It must never be attacked. The Holy Individual is equally sacred and untouchable. He too must never be attacked. Individual rights are similarly sacred and untouchable. They also must never be attacked.

But the welfare state batters the hell out of all of them. The regulatory, coercive welfare state – which is currently found everywhere on Earth – is engaged nonstop in assaulting and destroying large parts of the life and the rights of the Holy Individual. The welfare state is massively evil and criminality incarnate.

And it sets a pattern, and enforces an ethos, for lone criminals and organized mafias. Coercion and crime are made to seem normal. A welfare state society – which is by definition a tyrannical society – is naturally a high-crime society. Everyone sees the coercive welfare state involved in the routine repression of rights and the violation of justice, so practically everyone submissively follows along in that train. Criminality is the way of this world.

So to get rid of crime, people first need to get rid of the welfare state. It needs to be replaced with a just and free state. Once a fully liberal society is set up – a society which completely respects human life, the individual, and individual rights – crime rates will fall quickly and radically.
