    Agorism

    I just began reading the "New Libertarian Manifesto"

    "Undoubtedly the freest society yet envisioned is that of Robert LeFevre. All relations between people are voluntary exchanges - a free market. No one will injure another or trespass in any way."

    Here's a lot of great material : Robert LeFevre Commentaries

    I hope you find NLM and Robert LeFevre's work as satisfying and enriching as I did. Truly, two men that have changed the way I think and act on a daily basis.

    You are no Disciple of the Lord! You turned your back on God the moment you pledged your allegiance to the state. The Minarchists are wrong. They think it can be peaceful, but how can it be peaceful when they take away your dignity? The Kingdom of God is Within You http://catholicmarketanarchy.blogspot.com/

    So far so good =]

    "Bootleggers and hookers all long some day for re-acceptance in society - even when they form a supportive "sub-society" of outcasts. Yet there have been exceptions to this phenomenon of longing for acceptance: the religious dissenting communities of the 1700s, the political utopian communities of the 1800s, and most recently, the counter-culture of the hippies and New Left. What they had was a conviction that their sub-society was superior to the rest of society. The fearful reaction to themselves they generated in the rest of society was the fear they were correct.

    All of these examples of self-sustaining sub-societies failed for one overriding reason: ignorance of economics. No social binding, no mater how beautiful, can overcome the basic glue of society - division of labor. The anti-market commune defies the only enforceable law - the law of nature. "
