Agorism is the practice of counter-economics and the ideas associated with that practice. Agorist ideas assert that Libertarian philosophy occurs in practice, in the real world, as Counter-Economics. It was first proposed by libertarian philosopher Samuel Edward Konkin III in 1975.

Agorism (based on the principle of counter-economics) promotes withdrawing from the state and using counter-economic activities to minimize what a person contributes to the state in the form of taxes, license fees, and so forth.

Mark Passio originally delivered this presentation at The Great Create event in Perry, GA on May 12, 2023. In this talk, Mark lays out the underlying reasons Government is an immoral institution based upon coercion and violence, thus constituting it as a form of human Slavery. Mark goes on to explain that the only truly just and moral ideological position to align oneself with is that of Abolitionism. The world-view of anyone who watches this presentation is certain to be challenged, and possibly changed forever.

Larken Rose is an anarchist author who is perhaps best known for challenging the IRS to answer questions about the federal tax liability of citizens. He was put in prison, and none of his questions were answered.

Here’s a compilation of audio clips taken from various radio interviews with Larken Rose about statism.

Larken’s book, ‘The Most Dangerous Superstition’, can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/Most-Dangerous-Superstition-Larken-Rose/dp/145075063X Larken’s YouTube channel: https://yewtu.be/channel/UCFeK8ZdHbCqAq3gekWs8aEQ

The darknet has been one the most fascinating topics for me, ever since it started to shape my life years ago. These days it seems that it is becoming a buzz word, along with the word cryptoanarchy. For this reason I thought it would be interesting to sit down with two known thinkers, but more important doers, from the “scene” and discuss these topics with them. To keep it in style, the interview was conducted on the oldest darknet IRC server there is, home of both Frank Braun and Smuggler, and one of my favorite virtual hangouts.

On the matter of politics in relation to God, see my following article, which demonstrates the logically unavoidable anarchism of Jesus Christ's teachings as recorded in the New Testament (in addition to analyzing their context in relation to his actions, to the Tanakh, and to his apostles). It is logically complete on this subject, in the sense of its apodixis.

  • James Redford, "Jesus Is an Anarchist", Social Science Research Network (SSRN), Dec. 4, 2011 (orig. pub. Dec. 19, 2001), 60 pp., doi:10.2139/ssrn.1337761; also available here and here.

See also my below article, which demonstrates the logically unavoidable correctness of the anarcho-capitalist theory of human rights. It doesn't derive an "ought" from an "is"—rather, it derives an "ought" from an "ought": an "ought" everyone must necessarily presuppose in order to even begin to deny it.

For how physics allows unlimited progress by civilizations—to literally infinite intelligence and power—see my following article on physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology, which is a proof (i.e., mathematical theorem) of God's existence per the known laws of physics (viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics), and the Feynman–DeWitt–Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE), which is also required by said known physical laws. The Omega Point cosmology has been published and extensively peer-reviewed in leading physics journals.

Additionally, in the below resource are five sections which contain very informative videos of Prof. Tipler explaining the Omega Point cosmology and the Feynman–DeWitt–Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model TOE. The sixth section therein contains an audio interview of Tipler. I also provide some helpful notes and commentary for some of these videos.

Lastly, one cannot understand the extreme schizophrenia and sadomasochistic psychopathy of mankind—and hence the appeal that etatism holds for many—without incorporating the crucial insight provided by psychologist Julian Jaynes in his book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1976). And here I'm not speaking of so-called "aberrant" human psychology, but rather simply standard human psychology that all humans are born with due to natural evolution. Concerning that, consult my following article:
