This winter I posted about meeting up here in Niigata with fellow expat Voluntaryist 
Nick is currently in Nagano apprenticing under local farmers, and preparing to start an independent organic/permaculture/voluntaryist farming operation within the next year.
So what is "Voluntary Japan"?
Truth be told, there really is no hard, fast "vision," and I think it should be kept that way. There is no inflexible, coercion-based, cult of personality manifesto. Just these basic ideas:
All human interaction should be consensual and voluntary (self-ownership axiom).
All humans have a nature conferred capacity (read: "natural right") to self-defense.
Agorism, countereconomics, and black/grey markets are all useful tools for avoiding/chipping away at the state. (Ultimately these cannot solve everything, as the battle is a philosophical one, to be won alone, by the individual.)
Investment in gold, self-sustaining private food sources, self-defense, and COMMUNITY is a MUST.
Cryptocurrencies may also serve extremely useful purposes in liberating small communities/individuals from certain government restrictions, and in avoiding financing horrific state activities.
Love is the highest law, which is, in its essence, an empathic recognition in others of the axiomatic, immutable, objective reality of individual self-ownership, and the holding of life itself as the ultimate value.
With life held as a value, Voluntaryist property ethics are the ONLY OBJECTIVE AND LEGITIMATE MEANS/FOUNDATION upon which any community or society can be constructed which holds potential for minimum violent conflict.
(To see this explained in more depth, check here.)

Anyone here in Japan, of any nationality or background, sharing these ideas:
If you don't mind, leave me a little comment. Would just be good to know you're around for now, and maybe we will cross paths in the future, or end up in the same little community in this lush, beautiful green landmass full of kind people, fire code violations, open-minded automatons, hot springs, a complete lack of open container laws, natural views of the human body, and healthy food I have come to know and lovingly refer to as "Voluntary Japan."
If you want to support the project, please consider a Steem donation or BTC donation (see qr code in pic above). Your coins will help to fuel quality content, organic farming, and a voluntaryist community being born in Japan. If you don't want to donate...don't! That's the beauty of it all!
