For anyone interested, I've put together an online study guide for agorism at my blog.  If anyone can see changes or additions (especially anything else by SEK3) to make, please let me know.  Comments are appreciated!

Is that Libertarian Manifesto the only work that gives the 'plan' for the New Agorist Man?

Building A New Libertarian Movement has some more information.  A lot of the rest is scattered around the Net in various blogs, such as Roderick Long's, Charles Johnson's, Wally Conger's, and Brad Spangler's, and on articles on the main ALL page and agorism.info.

All I saw was a big circle of links with the only real information being the manifesto and a bunch of left-libertarian propaganda.

Still don't understand the distinction between a left-libertarian and a libertarian from following all those links around though except some claims that 'free-market economists' were in favor of the status quo.

New Agorist Man? Please stop taking cheap shots. That's just begging for an angry response.

The works and bloggings of prominent libertarians is Left-libertarian "propaganda"?

The distinction has been explained to you and others ad nauseum throughout multiple threads on this very message board.

I thought the label "left-libertarianism" was partially in response to what would be consdiered "vulgar-libertarianism" or "right-libertarianism.  I personally find the wikipedia entry actually helps explain it a bit more clearer than the links provided above (although, the links above are informative nonetheless, but felt a little more like reiteration rather than a clear introduction):

[from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-libertarian]

"

I'm not sure about the part concerning anarcho-communist's, though; but the part concerning "...In this view, libertarianism based on minarchism, gradualism, conservatism, or reformism is considered to be on the "Right." is accurate, methinks.

I can't help it if y'all don't have a sense of humor...fsck 'em if they can't take a joke, that's what I always say.

I don't pay any attention to all the secular warfare going on here.

Everything I saw from clicking the links to find out the 'left' position seemed to be just a libertarian position with a bunch of justification for the 'left' label that didn't seem too necessary at all. Maybe that's because I'm only schooled in the Rothbardian position on the matter from listening to For A New Liberty and The Ethics of Liberty audiobooks as my first venture into the political aspect Liberty. Who knows?

But, anyhoo, the reason I brought it up was it seems to me that the lefties are trying to associate agorism with their side of the isle in exclusion to the rest of the libertarian spectrum.
