IMPERIUM Primer Two-The Imperial Crock-Pot v. Sustainable Culture - Imperial Invisible Structures.pdf

The first three Principles of Permaculture are:
1. Care for people.
2. Care for the earth.
3. Give away the surplus.
Submission to imperial systems bars one from following these principles. Arbitrarily the first three principles of imperial culture could be:

1. Make people take care of you(using government force and compelled taxation).
2. The state will care for the earth as it sees fit and you will have to get permission to help care for the earth, if politically expedient.
3. The surplus will be sold to fund the empire, even if your
own people are hungry.
And a fourth principle of imperial culture:
4. You will help the empire oppress your own family and neighbors in exchange for entitlements.
