How can Anarchists as idealists, as people who want to test the unknown, not come to an agreement on which action will best make our ideology a practical reality? It seems to me Agorism is the only solution even on the table, for even the great Murray Rothbard thought the LP and the political change to be the most plausible solution. How can this be true? I am not saying abandon all action within the state to possibly bring about more liberty than prior. I am however saying that if this great idea, this movement to change the system from within had any value, why would government have gotten bigger?
Clearly government got bigger as this plot to change it fought from within. The great Ron Paul as much as he preached liberty minded ideas never made a dent in the polticial world as far as solid change. It really makes the idea of spending all of ones time and energy to do so seem rather foolish and counter productive. Not voting would seem the best option to save one the hassle of entertaining the rigged system. This refusal to vote is fine. It however is not an action to bring about the type of society we want. Education is great, but if political action is not present why would anyone want to take this seriously? One can talk until he or she is blue in the face about liberty but if you cannot say how, why would anyone want to dedicate the time to this movement? If people merely talk against voting and taxes and government but have zero suggestive action as to how they can manifest such a world, then no one will take it seriously. It will seem like nothing more than a fantasy.
If one does not have action along side ideology one has a mere brain without a body. It is just thought and not able to be applied. Correct me if i am wrong people but unless you want to go to war, unless you want to use force, Agorism is the only option i have seen. If not Agorism then what? What other direct political action can be so elegantly in line with the NAP and still advocate the voluntary market activity we desire? People cant just preach the knowledge in the underground, people must be the underground. people must be the change. It is simple enough to see the reality of the situation. Together as one Anarchists can grow and indeed can collapse this currency. This system of slavery.
Fiat money is undesirable for people, it requires individuals be stolen from for it to even be worth anything. Sounds like a conflict of interest to me. Are people so afraid of losing the scraps given? Are people so willing to remain tax mules for a monetary system that benefits a select few? Or will individuals unite under a form of action? That action being Agorism, engaging in counter economics to create the new system of exchange. Peacefully and effectively. all the while decreasing ones own dependence upon the state. I see plenty of rather intelligent people out there, yet they detest Agorism over Rothbards critique. Yet Rothbard proposed a political solution and its obvious our movement has grown far past that. Konkin was ahead in his thinking over the rest of the liberty movement at the time. I think we need to embrace this form of action or please feel free to suggest other forms of action.
