'''Reactionary Libertarianism''', or Reactbert, for short is an economically far-right, Libertarian, and [[File:Reactcross.png]] [[Reactionaryism|Reactionary]] ideology inspired on the Belgian political philosopher, [[File:FrankVanDun.png]] Frank Van Dun, who, in the article "[https://misesuk.org/2017/08/31/the-reactionary-libertarianism-of-frank-van-dun/ The 'Reactionary' Libertarianism of Frank Van Dun]", written by Richard Storey, is described as a "Reactionary Libertarian". The article shows extracts from Frank's correspondence with him outlining the case that the [[File:feud.png]] [[Feudalism|feudal]] system was [[File:awaj.png]] [[anarchism|stateless]] and that the [[File:catheo.png]] [[Catholic Theocracy|church]] was, in fact, and contrary to most people's beliefs, the greatest limiter to the rise of states in Europe.
 
==Beliefs==
ItReactionary primarilylibertarianism, believesas a political ideology, argues that the traditional [[File:ChristyFeud.png]] [[Christian TheocracyFeudalism|Christianityfeudal regimes]] and the Christian[[File:Catheo.png]] [[Catholic Theocracy|catholic church]], despitewere manysystems believing itopposed to bethe so,development didn't bring about centralized government norof [[File:sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism|Statismstatism]], butand quitewere the opposite, it managed to be a huge hindrance to the growth of centralizationso for centuries.
 
One of the libertarian thinkers that best exemplifies this position is Frank saysVan Dun. He argues that, rather,political centralization, which ultimately culminated with the development of the modern state, was brought about by the English system, from the Norman Conquest onward;, itcentralization waswhich virtuallywas impossible to achieve onin the continent. However, because royal absolutism did not last as long in England, asand itits didfall oncoincided with the Continentrise of absolutism in the continent, “English freedom” became the model to follow in the 18th century and onward.
 
ItHe also criticizes the [[File:Monkeyzz-Enlightenment.png]] and its tailor-made “ideology of [[Enlightenment]]”enlightenment, which (as so much of later [[File:ProgressProg-u.png]] [[Progressivism|Progressive ideology]]) had a vital interest in obliterating everything that was associated with the "stateless order of the medieval periodEurope" and the role of the church in formal education induring saidthe same period of time.
 
AmongThese manybeliefs thingsled Frankhim criticizesto in previously mentioned extracts, he criticized howcriticize [[File:Ancapf.png]] [[Anarcho-Capitalism|Rothbardianism]] remainedremaining virtually silent on the statelessness of the medieval system, besides some very few mentions, while actively presupposing some form of (what he called) "[[File:Lutheran TheocracyLuthIndiv.png]] Lutheran [[File:Indiv.png]] individualism", upon which is superimposed a structure of property and contract relations but which does not pay much, if any, atentionattention to questions of responsibility and justificatory arguments.
 
==The Origin of the State==
FirstThis itsideology necessarytakes toa definespecific whatapproach aon ‘state’the explanation of what is. the state and how it evolved until its modern version.<br>‘State’ derives from the Latin ‘status’. In the 15th century, however, it began to be used in [[File:Cball-Italy.png]] Italian principalities and cities to refer to their “political economy” (the realm considered as a single household). However, even today there remains an ambiguity: the state as a single economy (now usually called ‘a society’) and the state as the apparatus of rule and government within society (which puts every inhabitant of a country inside or outside the state apparatus).
 
Frank, though, believes that the term has been overly (mis)appliedused in the modern times, calling any system of rule a state, whether or not the rulers even claimed to have the right to govern anything but their household and whether or not they ruled by customary prerogative or governed by [[File:imp.png]] [[Imperialism|“the rights of conquest”]] (the former excluding, the latter including the “rights” to legislate and to tax at will).
 
It is also important to define [[File:sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism|Statismstatism]]., which Frank defines it as the 'idea that the ruler should have not only the power to rule (as supreme commander in times of war, as diplomat, and as judge in some but not necessarily all disputes among his subjects) but also the power to govern.' He says that medieval kings ruled their realm but did not govern anything within it besides his own household. "Government (as distinct from rule) was a matter of private housekeeping."
 
Frank Van Dun believes the state (in the west) was rather a gradual transition from medieval ''rule'' to the modern political ''government'', the latter reaching its full expression from the 16th century onwards (After the disasters and wars of the 14th century and the wars of the 15th century) when some major medieval kings became [[File:abmon.png]] [[Absolute Monarchism|absolute monarchs]] and the idea that the monarch's power to govern extended as far as imperium started to growbecame common.
 
This, then, lead to the formal organization of regular departments of government and their [[File:Regulationism.png]] bureaucratization, that is, the separation of the purely administrative aspects of government from the purely political aspects, previously intertwined. Thus the previous coceivedconceived idea that kings were first among equals with special prerogatives but no superior rights, was as good as dead.
 
==Statelessness of the medieval system==
Frank raised the case of themedieval Medievalpolitical system as being [[File:Libertarian.png]] [[Libertarianism|Libertarianlibertarian]] or, even, [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism|Anarchist]], saying that it wasBeing not only anarchistic in the sense that it was situated in a stateless environment but also in the sense that it was intended to be anti-state. And in arguing this, he stresses the political relevance of the church.
 
In the words of Frank Van Dun, the [[File:Catheo.png]] [[Catholic Theocracy|church]] was not only ''a protector'' of [[File:property.png]] [[Propertarianism|“private law systems”]] but rather ''the great protector'' of them. Without the church these systems wouldn't have been able to develop. Frank says that in medieval times, free cities, universities, mercantile associations, large estates, etc... developed their own systems of [[File:polylaw.png]] “private law-keeping” or, in other words, private systems of governance. These were more or less closed (private) economies (households or associations of households).
 
The Church insisted on their support for natural law, which kept those “private systems” compatible with each other as to what basic principles refer, preventing them from turning into separate collections of special-interest privileges.
Line 58 ⟶ 80:
In simpler terms, the Church oversaw the integrity of the system without interfering in the internal ordering of individual households or associations of households, unless they threatened to take over by forcefully eliminating the independence of other households.
 
Not having an army of its own, the Church relied on the good will of others, i.e. on itstheir moral and theological prestige and authority (its intellectual capital). By decreasing the Church’s authority, and by robbing it of much wealth and income (and by implication, bargaining power), the [[File:ProtTheo.png]] [[Protestant Theocracy|Protestant]] crisis certainly undermined the major pillar of support for these medieval “private systems of governance.”
