Cooperatives, startup societies, exitarians, platform cooperatives, blockchains and decentralized networks. "Beloved children have many names" It is becoming obvious that the remaining ideas of traditional "agorism" have started to have a life of their own. A life that its founder - Samuel Edward Konkin III - may not have entirely agreed with, but likely would've still been very pleased to see take hold and influence the world in such radical ways as it has done.
That's why I'm happy to see Tom Woods, economist, libertarian content creator and activist, promote these ideas on his show in latest episode 945. The episode is embeded below for your listening pleasure.
"Cooperative Agorism", as opposed to something like Social Democracy, will be the new way forward for libertarians of left, center and right alike.
Not everyone involved is even clearly political and as long as we can find common ground along the way they don't need to be; Cooperative Agorism is primarily a strategy and the exact political endgoal may vary.
For me as an Anarcho-Capitalist, its purpose is of course clear.
I want a society that is entirely free and prosperous for us all in the absence of force from any state party. Steem and Bitshares are ways for us to get there, without necessarily winning every democratic election or having to bribe the right politicians along the way.
The world is changing, mark my words. Mark this date. Change won't come easy; each and everyone of us will have to do our part. There will be trials and tribulations. But it will never be the same.
Thank you Tom Woods for spreading the word about these wonderful new ideas through your show! Thank you Steemians for bringing the message of Steem to the masses! Together we are making the world a better place!
