[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2018-22: PROPERTY RIGHTS RESOLUTION

Alex Merced (LNC Vice Chair) alex.merced at lp.org
Wed Aug 15 19:18:28 EDT 2018


I vote No on this motion and I hope the below will help make my thoughts clear on this matter and be useful in construction of future motions.

In accordance with the concerns expressed by the Chairman Sarwark I agree that this Motion by definition does one of two things, reaffirms What has already been affirmed by the platform in which case I rather vote on a Motion that uses the wording from the actual platform than paraphrasing it. If this is seen as an attempt to clarify what people feel isn’t clear then that seems like it should be the proper role of the platform committee to propose amendments for 2020 that will make it clearer. To the extent we conduct policy resolutions, I feel the proper role isn’t to clarify the platform but to apply it the issues of the day (showing how the platform applies to modern discussions of immigration, trade and spending such as the 82 billion of additional military spending)
As put forth by At-Large Rep Mattson I don’t disagree with the substance of the resolution. I do believe property rights are central not only libertarianism but to the functioning of civilization in the world of scarcity. I affirm property rights and many philosophical, economic and otherwise intellectual tenants of libertarianism regularly in my public and private communications. Although I do resent the framing of this to the public by proponents as a litmus test as if this resolution is the only mechanism for stating and affirming our principles and not doing so is tantamount to inviting a socialist mutiny... this kind of characterization is not something I want see in what should be a deliberative body and is enough to earn my no vote to push against such tactics. This concern has little to do the resolution but the tone of the conversation around this resolution on and off the LNC list.
As pointed out by Region 1 Alternate Bowden the way one can possibly read in room for Eminent Domain is unfortunate. I know 6 of you worked long and hard to get this wording and I appreciate that level of work and initiative but why would you make the mistake of rushing this to a vote without getting feedback further from the body in case one or two tweaks were needed (a mistake I’ve learned a few times now). The fact that I agree with the intention of this motion isn’t enough for me look pass its faults. When this first came up I tried to put in my two cents with some possible wording and approaches and then this was proposed almost the very next day.
In accordance with the concerns of At-Large Rep Bishop-Henchman this would be more concerning if a member of this body was espousing Syndicalist beliefs and that local candidates should be addressed directly by their state party. Although if we wanted to disabuse people of the idea that “Rent is Theft” and “Occupation is Ownership” there are much cleaner ways to do so which I will cite soon. I also agree we’d be better served affirming the platform applied to National issues so it can seem relevant and affirming.
I will not vote yes on any policy resolution that doesn’t reference actual National Policy Discussions until after the elections in November. So if we want to be speaking to our principles let’s do so in resolutions that our candidates can actually take to voters, otherwise these are things we can worry about for late November email ballots.
When November does come around and if we want to revisit this let me suggest something more straight to the point.

—————————-

Whereas section 2.1 of the Libertarian Party Reads as follows

“2.1 Property and Contract
As respect for property rights is fundamental to maintaining a free and prosperous society, it follows that the freedom to contract to obtain, retain, profit from, manage, or dispose of one’s property must also be upheld. Libertarians would free property owners from government restrictions on their rights to control and enjoy their property, as long as their choices do not harm or infringe on the rights of others. Eminent domain, civil asset forfeiture, governmental limits on profits, governmental production mandates, and governmental controls on prices of goods and services (including wages, rents, and interest) are abridgements of such fundamental rights. For voluntary dealings among private entities, parties should be free to choose with whom they trade and set whatever trade terms are mutually agreeable.”

It is resolved that rent is not theft and occupation is not ownership.
—————————

Bottom Line: I’m voting against this not so much for the substance of the motion but because it was rushed and the tactics used would set a bad tone for the next few years. For the record for the future, if the marketing of anyone’s motion creates such a divisive environment among members and becomes a distraction I will not hesitate to vote against it. It doesn’t mean we can’t try stuff like this but we need to communicate better with everyone to craft these things and not rush to riling people into a false dichotomy that any particular motion is an end all be all of any discussion.

Side note: I am putting forth such a long explanation of my vote to provide guidance so that the next attempt at this I can vote for because rent is not theft and property rights are a beautiful thing I want to vote Yes on. So please take my criticisms as intended as effort to make our resolutions better, stronger and effective to foster a united and principled front for the party.

To the framers of this resolution I do appreciate the hard work, I don’t want to discourage you from helping people understand what we believe in. I hope you’ll take what I had to say in stride and we can proceed forward a more cohesive, effective AND principled body.

-------------- next part --------------
   I vote No on this motion and I hope the below will help make my
   thoughts clear on this matter and be useful in construction of future
   motions.

    1. In accordance with the concerns expressed by the Chairman Sarwark I
       agree that this Motion by definition does one of two things,
       reaffirms What has already been affirmed by the platform in which
       case I rather vote on a Motion that uses the wording from the
       actual platform than paraphrasing it. If this is seen as an attempt
       to clarify what people feel isn’t clear then that seems like it
       should be the proper role of the platform committee to propose
       amendments for 2020 that will make it clearer. To the extent we
       conduct policy resolutions, I feel the proper role isn’t to clarify
       the platform but to apply it the issues of the day (showing how the
       platform applies to modern discussions of immigration, trade and
       spending such as the 82 billion of additional military spending)
    2. As put forth by At-Large Rep Mattson I don’t disagree with the
       substance of the resolution. I do believe property rights are
       central not only libertarianism but to the functioning of
       civilization in the world of scarcity. I affirm property rights and
       many philosophical, economic and otherwise intellectual tenants of
       libertarianism regularly in my public and private communications.
       Although I do resent the framing of this to the public by
       proponents as a litmus test as if this resolution is the only
       mechanism for stating and affirming our principles and not doing so
       is tantamount to inviting a socialist mutiny... this kind of
       characterization is not something I want see in what should be a
       deliberative body and is enough to earn my no vote to push against
       such tactics. This concern has little to do the resolution but the
       tone of the conversation around this resolution on and off the LNC
       list.
    3. As pointed out by Region 1 Alternate Bowden the way one can
       possibly read in room for Eminent Domain is unfortunate. I know 6
       of you worked long and hard to get this wording and I appreciate
       that level of work and initiative but why would you make the
       mistake of rushing this to a vote without getting feedback further
       from the body in case one or two tweaks were needed (a mistake I’ve
       learned a few times now). The fact that I agree with the intention
       of this motion isn’t enough for me look pass its faults. When this
       first came up I tried to put in my two cents with some possible
       wording and approaches and then this was proposed almost the very
       next day.
    4. In accordance with the concerns of At-Large Rep Bishop-Henchman
       this would be more concerning if a member of this body was
       espousing Syndicalist beliefs and that local candidates should be
       addressed directly by their state party. Although if we wanted to
       disabuse people of the idea that “Rent is Theft” and “Occupation is
       Ownership” there are much cleaner ways to do so which I will cite
       soon. I also agree we’d be better served affirming the platform
       applied to National issues so it can seem relevant and affirming.
    5. I will not vote yes on any policy resolution that doesn’t reference
       actual National Policy Discussions until after the elections in
       November. So if we want to be speaking to our principles let’s do
       so in resolutions that our candidates can actually take to voters,
       otherwise these are things we can worry about for late November
       email ballots.
    6. When November does come around and if we want to revisit this let
       me suggest something more straight to the point.

   —————————-

   Whereas section 2.1 of the Libertarian Party Reads as follows

   “2.1 Property and Contract

   As respect for property rights is fundamental to maintaining a free and
   prosperous society, it follows that the freedom to contract to obtain,
   retain, profit from, manage, or dispose of one’s property must also be
   upheld. Libertarians would free property owners from government
   restrictions on their rights to control and enjoy their property, as
   long as their choices do not harm or infringe on the rights of others.
   Eminent domain, civil asset forfeiture, governmental limits on profits,
   governmental production mandates, and governmental controls on prices
   of goods and services (including wages, rents, and interest) are
   abridgements of such fundamental rights. For voluntary dealings among
   private entities, parties should be free to choose with whom they trade
   and set whatever trade terms are mutually agreeable.”

   It is resolved that rent is not theft and occupation is not ownership.

   —————————

   Bottom Line: I’m voting against this not so much for the substance of
   the motion but because it was rushed and the tactics used would set a
   bad tone for the next few years. For the record for the future, if the
   marketing of anyone’s motion creates such a divisive environment among
   members and becomes a distraction I will not hesitate to vote against
   it. It doesn’t mean we can’t try stuff like this but we need to
   communicate better with everyone to craft these things and not rush to
   riling people into a false dichotomy that any particular motion is an
   end all be all of any discussion.

   Side note: I am putting forth such a long explanation of my vote to
   provide guidance so that the next attempt at this I can vote for
   because rent is not theft and property rights are a beautiful thing I
   want to vote Yes on. So please take my criticisms as intended as effort
   to make our resolutions better, stronger and effective to foster a
   united and principled front for the party.

   To the framers of this resolution I do appreciate the hard work, I
   don’t want to discourage you from helping people understand what we
   believe in. I hope you’ll take what I had to say in stride and we can
   proceed forward a more cohesive, effective AND principled body.

         is

              his

                 If you are going to go to the trouble of counting

       emails,

     it

              would be

                 nice if you went to the trouble of finding out things

       that

         don’t

              fit

                 your narrative.  You could also do the same for

       Joshua.

     He

         can

              speak

                 to his own activities but I know for a fact that you

         caricature

              of him

                 as only caring about this is woefully incorrect.

                 By the time my promo schedule is done I will have

       raised

     as

              much.  We

                 shouldn’t have to highlight our own candidacy efforts

       by

         putting

              other

                 people’s efforts down.  That is a real issue in this

     Party.

                   (to

       and

              internally

                   inconsistent. If one of their tiny number is a

              office

                   in

                   Michigan, I think it's fair if Michigan sought to

         them or

                   remove

                   them from the ballot. If one of them in a position

       of

     LNC

              authority

                   espouses views advocating violence or destruction

       of

         individual

                   rights,

                   I think it's fair to consider censure or removal.

                   Neither is the case here. This resolution either

     reaffirms

         our

                   platform

                   - using some odd language that throws Georgists and

         mutualists

              under

                   the

                   bus too - or it expands our platform and turns the

       LNC

         into a

              purity

                   police of Libertarian beliefs.

                   Mr. Olsen mentioned real instances of people

       hesitant

         about

              joining

                   the

                   party because of the rise of these syndicalists.

       That

         gives me

                   pause. If

                   I were talking to such a person, I'd point out our

         platform as

              it

                   stands

                   and let them know that the weirdo socialists

       couldn't

     even

         fill

              one

                   Uber, let alone pose any threat to our party. Would

       such

     a

              person be

                   more reassured by a "reaffirmed" Platform than the

     current

              Platform?

                   Are

                   our SoP and Platform so weak that this group has

       managed

         to

              shake

                   the

                   foundations of our Party?

                   I encounter people all the time who aren't sure

       what the

              Libertarian

                   Party stand for because of our various strains of

     thought

         and

              our

                   inability to focus on electing candidates. A

       non-binding

              resolution

                   doesn't fix that. It actually makes it worse -

     signalling

         that

              we

                   the

                   LNC can't keep our eye on electing candidates, or

       at

     least

         on

                   promoting

                   Libertarian solutions to the problems of the day.

                   In the four days, Ms. Harlos has written and sent

       68

         emails on

              this

                   matter and Mr. Smith has posted 20 Facebook posts

       on

     this

              matter.

                   They've decided this is their number one issue and

       want

     it

         to

              be the

                   LNC's number one issue.

                   If we're looking to demonstrate Libertarian

       relevance to

              voters, I

                   would

                   instead suggest one of the following could be our

       top

     item

         for

                   discussion, action, or marketing this week:

                   *China announces 25% tariffs on $60 billion worth

       of

     U.S.

              goods, in

                   response to President Trump considering higher

       tariffs

     on

         $200

                   billion

                   worth of Chinese goods. The total negative effect

       of

         enacted

              and

                   announced tariffs in this tariff war is 465,000

       lost

     jobs

         and

              $150

                   billion less in economic growth.

                   *The U.S. Senate is poised to approve H.R. 6157,

       which

              increases

                   Pentagon spending to $675 billion for this upcoming

     year.

         While

                   federal

                   spending is being boosted, the U.S. Treasury is

       expected

         to

              borrow

                   $955

                   billion this year, up from $519 billion last year.

                   *$1.7 billion was spent on lobbying in Washington,

       DC in

         the

              first

                   six

                   months of this year, the highest since 2010. There

       are

         9,785

                   registered

                   lobbyists in the nation's capital, or 18 for each

       member

         of

                   Congress.

                   *Electric power was restored to the entire island

       of

         Puerto

              Rico

                   today

                   for the first time since Hurricane Maria hit 328

       days

     ago,

         a

              woeful

                   testament to the commonwealth's dependence on the

     federal

                   government.

                   *Wildfires continue to devastate northern

       California,

              destroying

                   thousands of homes and claiming 31 lives.

                   129

                   million dead trees, leaving a tinder box.

                   *50 schoolchildren on a field trip were killed and

       80

     were

              wounded

                   in a

                   Saudi airstrike in northern Yemen that hit their

       bus

     last

              Thursday.

                   The

                   victims were age 6 to 11. U.S. Secretary of State

     Pompeo,

         on

              the

                   phone

                   with the Saudi Crown Prince a few days later,

       thanked

     the

              Saudis for

                   their help in Syria and Iraq.

                   *President Trump revoked the security clearance of

       one

         official

              who

                   has

                   spoken out against him, and fired an FBI official

       who

         spoke out

                   against

                   him.

                   *California's Supreme Court struck down San Diego's

         decision

                   (approved

                   by 65% of voters) to put city employees into a 401k

         retirement

              plan

                   instead of an antiquated and costly defined benefit

         pension

              plan. In

                   DC,

                   the WMATA transit agency lost a similar arbitration

         dispute.

                   Taxpayers

                   will have to pick up the tab in both instances.

                   *Socialist Venezuela today defaulted on another

       $1.125

         billion

              in

                   bonds.

                   Several dozen opposition figures have been rounded

       up

                   following a drone assassination attempt on Maduro

     earlier

         this

                   month.

                   *New Zealand banned foreigners from buying property

       as a

         way of

                   "solving" high housing prices. U.S. cities may look

       at

     the

         idea

                   next.

                   *North Dakota will vote on marijuana legalization,

       after

         LP

              activist

                   Dave Owen and his org LegalizeND got the issue on

       the

         ballot

              this

                   week.

                   *And of course, our many great candidates who need

         donations,

                   volunteers, and attention as they work to be

       elected and

              re-elected.

                   Imagine how much money we could raise for them or

         activists we

              could

                   get

                   for them if we were e-mailing 68 times or posting

       20

         Facebook

              posts

                   about them instead?

                   Relating to the last point, over the next few days

       I'm

         going to

                   personally donate $68 each - one for each of Ms.

     Harlos's

              and a

                   clear

                   demonstration that this LNC has its priorities in

       order.

         If all

                   of us

                   were to get our networks to do the same, that may

       make

     the

                   difference

                   between winning and not winning. I welcome anyone

       WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party supports the

              and

       the right of privatization of property as an

       WHEREAS, the Statement of Principles of The

              Party

       explicitly supports the right to private

       property

              ownership,

     including

       the right to do business utilizing that

       property as

              capital;

       WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party strongly

       supports

     the

              rights of

       individuals to own private property including

       land,

              structures,

     natural

       resources and other private space through

         homesteading,

                   purchase,

     and

       other lawful libertarian means;

       WHEREAS, ownership of private property,

       including

     but

         not

                   limited to

       land and housing, does not require continual

       or

         personal

              use to

     exist

       as justly owned property unless otherwise

     abandoned;

       WHEREAS, these have been part of the

         the

                   Libertarian

       Party since its inception;

       THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that socialist and

                   property

       ownership schemes, including the

       collectivization

     of

     all

              parties,
