the one lesson i hope our age learns is that "private wealth" is a lie. there is no such thing as objective wealth. maybe precious metals serve as a technological solution that approximates a more objective, permanent wealth, but even then there's market price levels and subjectivity. wealth is just ious. it's how surplus resources developed by society get distributed, how control over them is assigned. that's all it is. it's a social outcome. does society exist? does it have values?  pure ancap libertarian though proposes an emergent, nuanced, living outcome as society, where individual atomized values are organized through market forces to metastasize as social outcomes. in reality, the metastasized values reflect a layer of society that is outside the agency of individuals. for instance, those who can control media can manufacture consent and create social outcomes in the market. therefore someone is controlling collective outcomes, and it's not you. thus, we have to tap into what our collective values are as rational (and dare i say white european) individuals. we have to find allies who agree with them, and this can include the veneration of retained personal rights, and we have to politically guarantee those values manifest in the social organization. "private wealth" only exists in a vampiric mode of economics. you have to create a rolling debt pyramid so that there's a dynamic of winners and losers that transcends all metastasizing social values, forcing communities and individuals into a mercenary mode of existence to compete to be winners so that they don't end up as losers. this creates the wealth pyramid, and "private wealth" is merely a position at the top of this satanic, demiurgic structure. by the way, i'm a realist not a gnostic. so the demiurge to me is a synthetic demon god that kabbalists manifest to replace the god of creation.
