Agorism vs Anarcho-Capitalism
Agorism is a libertarian anarchist strategy that seeks a stateless free-market society by moving economic activity into untaxed, unregulated counter-economic markets rather than through elections or political parties.
- The state is a coercive institution with no legitimate authority.
- All peaceful, voluntary exchange should be free from taxation and regulation.
- Voting and political parties strengthen the state and cannot achieve liberty.
Anarcho-capitalism proposes abolishing the state and replacing it with private property, voluntary exchange and privately provided services, including security and courts.
- The state is an illegitimate monopoly on force because it taxes and rules without individual consent.
- No person or group may initiate force against peaceful people, a rule often called the non-aggression principle.
- Private property rights, including in land and capital, are fully legitimate.
- Agorism: petals and stars
