We know the concept was articulated in 1974 by Samuel Edward Konkin III, but I’d be willing to bet the concept in its raw, natural state is a lot older than that. My theory is that Konkin just developed a political and anthropological label that is agorism to describe something humans have been doing for as long as governments have existed. Let’s start with the…

As these often help those not familiar with agorism or anarchism see peaceful ways to progress this is a great approach. These alternatives address immediate practical concerns, which is often a great way to get others on board. However, there is a relatively untouched area of life that as agorists…

It was also my only experience of living in what I considered to be an agorist community before leaving. The idea to move there came when we were already living off grid in Cleveland and being literally evicted in the middle of winter for living in a house without connected utilities.

Konkin III (SEK3) died alone on February 23, 2004 of natural causes at the age of 56 in his apartment in West Los Angeles, California. SEK3’s life was dedicated to one ideal: Agorism which is the movement he founded. Agorism seeks to achieve an anarchist society through a peaceful revolution called counter-economics—that is, through free-market exchanges that ignore the state and cause…

We use it to trade with one another voluntarily in a free market. It can also be a great tool to evade extortion and save some of our precious wealth while rewarding other agorists who provide value in the marketplace. It is a great way to choose the change you want to see in the world. Money is essentially just a way to store economic energy.
