RE: How an Airborne Ranger Became a Voluntaryist

in #voluntaryism7 years ago

Agorism is a process of replacing government functions by ignoring the government option as much as possible and seeking free market alternatives. Ultimately, this results in no government.
I generally define government as an institution claiming and generally exercising the prerogative to tax, seize through eminent domain or civil asset forfeiture, and conscript.

Sort:  

I don't believe government is necessary at all.
Anything currently handled by government institutions can be handled better by the free market, including security and arbitration, even punishment if we manage a shift in mass opinion from expecting government to punish those who need punished to realizing it need to be done by the community directly. For example, a private arbitration service could determine that someone is guilty of murder. Instead of expecting a government entity to handle this, the community should execute him directly.
