RE: How I Went From Steem Agnostic to a Steem Believer in 48 Hours or Less

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

I just watched your interview with @dan and @ned, and it's my most favorite Steemit interview so far! I'd like to ask you for confirmation though: are Dan and Ned really anarchists?

Sort:  

Dan is 100% anarcho-capitalist. Talking to him offline and reading some of this stuff on his blog, he is as ancap as they get! He was also a fan of Anarchast before I even knew about him. Ned said he has been learning everything about voluntarism from Dan in the last 6 months and considers himself one now, although he is not steeped in the philosophy or background on it as Dan is.

I came across this quote on Dan's blog and absolutely loved it, "I use Austrian Economics to engineer the economic incentives which make freedom and non-violence profitable." That is as ancap as it gets! https://bytemaster.github.io/

Excellent quote! :D Thank you for your clarification

by their fruit you will recognize them!

Wow I love the quote too.

Just read @dan's intro post.

Going forward I hope to leverage the work here with Steem to build markets, insurance, mutural-aid societies, and justice systems that empower our community to disempower government. I believe that properly organized social pressures can be far more powerful than any standing army or government bureaucrat. Through blockchain technology we can organize ourselves and hopefully achieve our liberty.

It think trying to put labels on people is unnecessarily limiting. Action speaks louder that words.
