“Agorism is the philosophy of creating alternative institutions to directly compete with the state. Samuel Konkin III called for participation in Counter-Economics, or economic activity that is typically seen as illegal or unregulated by the state. This includes competing currencies, community gardening schemes, tax resistance, and operating businesses without licenses. Agorism also extends to the creation of alternative education programs, free schools or skill shares, and independent media ventures. Also essential to agorism is support of entrepreneurs who actively do business outside of the state’s license and regulations.”

“They spring from a single seed, no matter the flowering of their ideas. The seed is liberty. And that is all it is. It is not a socialist seed. It is not a capitalist seed. It is not a mystical seed. It is not a determinist seed. It is simply a statement. We can be free. After that it’s all choice and chance. “Anarchism, liberty, does not tell you a thing about how free people will behave or what arrangements they will make. It simply says that people have the capacity to make arrangements.”
