Another Night, And Another Day, In Pondicherry

Last night, the good boys did bring me the S & G song "The Boxer," and I felt good to hear the lines:

In the clearing stands a BOXER,

And a FIGHTER by his TRADE,

And he carries the reminders,

Of every glove that laid him down,

And CUT HIM, till he CRIED OUT,

In his anger and his pain,

I am leaving, I am leaving,

But the FIGHTER still remains...

Tonight, he should be bringing me "The Logical Song."


Last night, I did teach these boys something; after all, that is my vocation. I expanded further on what I had taught them the day before, on the "subjective" element, and I offered the example of ice-cream: how some people like vanilla, some like pistachio, some chocolate chip and so on. I also spoke to them about what "entrepreneurship" is all about: which is, investing your Capital in order to GUESS what the people out there want to buy. Entrepreneurship is nothing else - and this guesswork is entirely "speculative."


Thus, I explained to them why Central Planning can never work, for only a shopkeeper will stock umbrellas for you in the rainy season.


I went one step further, though: I told them why FREEDOM is so important. Because, if The State disallows you from investing in the area you want to - like, say, ganja cafes, or casinos, you are LOST.


Thus, I told them, Pondicherry is poor because some 70 per cent of businesses are effectively BANNED. And this is particularly true of Beach Road - the prime tourist area, where almost ALL the prime property belongs either to The State or to the Aurobindo Ashram, and the poor people have to ply their wares on UGLY, little pushcarts.


This morning, I came to the tea shop and encountered a complete moron of a socialist - and I proceeded to instruct him as to why Socialism Is Evil. I told him that we would not even get these cups of tea at 4:30 AM if it had not been for Capitalism; and that, too, Competitive Capitalism, for there were four tea shops open at that time. 


I went on to say that "society" is FICTION: that, in reality, we are all Individuals. Some of us who marry and have a wife and children may have families - but many don't. Some of us may have "friends" - but many don't.  And, I pointed out to the fact that none of us are "friends" of the tea shop owner - and that our relationship with him is "impersonal."


I went on to say that the CONgress BULLSHIT is ideally expressed in their slogan: 

"India Is Indira" 

Which means that the rest of us do not matter. So if Indira owns steel plants, hotels, airlines and all the rest, we are better off. This ideology is EVIL, I told him.


I spent the morning with a sadhu - and some strange guys joined us. One of them gave some money to the other to get some ganja - so that the sadhu and I (both Babas) could enjoy a smoke. But this smoke never happened. The police stopped it from happening - and the sadhu and I drank BEER. Imagine that! A sadhu drinking beer.


And then, I began walking down the road to this Internet place where I work every day. En route, I stopped to eat some lunch at a roadside stall: some excellent beef, as well as some excellent eggs, all together for just 30 rupees. I told the vendor that she was engaged in "social service" - by feeding poor people, like me. At least I do NOT need cheap UNCOOKED rice from The State. I need cheap, cooked food on the streets. I then asked this vendor why she did not put up her stall on Beach Road. And she said: 

"The Police Stop Us."

I told them, both the guy who was to get the ganja, as well as this woman who was selling me beef and eggs, that they must FIGHT the fuckin' police. 

To the Death, if necessary.

These "tax parasites" MUST be put in their place. 

FREEDOM!

In truth, a Police FORCE like the kind we have is totally unnecessary. In fact, police forces like this are PURE EVIL.


If we make ours a "private law society," then the only crimes are "crimes against individuals," and then the "convicted criminal" must financially compensate his "victim." There is no jail. And victims get JUSTICE.

JUSTICE!

We need to FIGHT for both FREEDOM

as well as

JUSTICE

today.
