Japan’s image in the eyes of agorists may yet be one of mindless, collectivistic obedience to authority, and the endless concrete jungles of mega-metropolises like Tokyo, but that would be a mistaken perception in many ways. With the land’s ineffably profound ties to nature, the growing desire of residents to create their own communities in

The tianguis is the hallmark of markets in Mexico. The word is the hispanicized form of the Nahuatl “tiyanquiztli”, which means “open air market.” It has existed in Mexico for millennia since the advent of agriculture and the first urban settlements. It basically sets up in streets, squares, or any form of public space

It’s something that most involved in cryptocurrency are aware of — the exponentially quickening global move toward nation-states adopting central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). However, there are many individuals in mainstream culture that have no idea just how far this technology has progressed, or just how devious the agenda behind it is. Even some in

The agora was a space for trade in ancient times. There, merchants and philosophers alike would meet to exchange their riches, both intellectual and material. The Greeks became famous in their coinage, for they were able to surpass the world power of their time: the Persian Empire. And this word, “Agora”, survived to this day

“It’s not the virus that’s the problem. It’s the eugenics that’s the problem. It’s never gone away.

Some training that was. As a result, you have

The apathetic are apathetic. We are highly unlikely to inspire them to take action. A few might be more resigned than apathetic and they might be open to agorism as a path to real freedom and respect for persons, but overall, a person who is just trying to get by won’t care about our message.

Medicine in America, or anywhere in the developed world these days, ain’t what you think it is.

Anarcho-capitalism is sometimes called market anarchism because it seeks to replace the state with a free market and a system of private property that is based on every person’s right to self-ownership. Whatever market services the State has usurped—the adjudication of disputes, for example—would be addressed by contracts and private agencies. The origin of

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) policies have little if anything to do with keeping people safe, stopping crime, or ensuring economic stability. Logical argument, history, and current events show this is the case. What these regulations are about is much more insidious: controlling every aspect of your financial life so governments don’t

In language, definitions change and meanings naturally evolve over time and across cultural shifts.

When you’re dealing with an ultra-logical crowd like capitalists and agorists, things like spirituality and manifestation are left on the back burner, thought unnecessary with real hard work.

Is convenience always a good thing? Of course it is! Who doesn’t want life to be more convenient? We measure much of human progress in convenience.

There’s no more denying it. We are on the precipice of an economic crisis that will dwarf the Great Recession of 2008.

Before anyone gets their fundoshi in a wad, yes, from a general view, Japan is a collectivist culture. Also, statism holds sway.

Right now, the legacy financial paradigm isn’t helping many people get out of debt, establish economic independence, or break free from self-perpetuating, vicious cycles of poverty.

To a newly initiated freedom seeker, it could appear that there are endless problems/grievances in the modern world and few solutions, especially after the past 300 or so days.

Samuel E. Konkin III (SEK3, 1947-2004) is the father of Agorism—a free-market anarchism that envisions a peaceful revolution through counter-economics.

SEK3 wrote, “The Counter-Economy includes the

The big difference between an agorist and an anarcho-capitalist as far as I am concerned is rooted in action. One talks a lot about how things ought to be, the other actually tries to live what they feel the world should be like, in spite of the system in which we are all forced to

“In an agorist society, division of labor and self-respect of each worker-capitalist entrepreneur will probably eliminate the traditional business organization – especially the corporate hierarchy, an imitation of the State and not the Market.
