I'm not an AN-archist, I'm a VOLUNT-archist.
A social system of voluntary, non-state governments with competition between different systems of governance
Hoppe is my architecture; SEK3 is my toolkit.
Where I’m most Hoppean:
• Core Philosophy: Strict private property rights, private law societies, and covenant communities.
• Cultural & Social Model: Combining radical free-market anarcho-capitalism with organic, traditional values—rejecting state centralism at its foundation.
Where SEK3 (Agorism) fits me:
• Practical Strategy: Zero reliance on politics or voting. The focus is purely on counter-economics and building alternative structures.
• Digital & Economic Sovereignty: Using P2P networks, decentralized protocols, and self-hosted tools to bypass state monopolies and Big Tech right now, without asking for permission.
Bottom line: Hoppe defines my destination; SEK3 gives me the blueprint to live freely today.
If libertarianism was as pro corporate as people say it is it’d be the law of the land. But it isn’t, because deregulation is actually anti-megacorporate.
@MikeMontchalin@NeoRothbardian Who will conduct the asset auctions, and who will distribute them to the general population? And what qualifies as the “general population”?
Murray Rothbard argued in 1969 that one of the great unanswered questions for anti-communists was simple:
“How do you actually de-socialize an economy?”
He pointed to Yugoslavia, where several state-owned factories had been transferred directly to the workers who operated them.
For Rothbard, this reflected the libertarian homesteading principle:
“Land to the peasants and factories to the workers.”
His point was that property rooted in state privilege, subsidies, or coercion had weak legitimacy. Legitimate ownership should instead belong to those who actually use, occupy, and work the property.
That’s exactly why I think “anarcho”-capitalists should drop the term “anarcho” for something else. Whether it’s Voluntaryism, Proprietarianism, or something like volunt (voluntary) + archy (governance), meaning voluntarchy.
Anarchism’s reputation has been (perhaps understandably) completely destroyed by left-wing larpers screaming their lungs out, criticizing everything needed for society to function, while throwing firebombs into every Walmart they come across.

@lex_ordo_@Davobro007@benbackupbackup@grok “Free” for a libertarian means a state so small that it barely seems to exist, or truly does not exist at all in the case of an AnCap.
@lex_ordo_@Davobro007@benbackupbackup@grok A free society for a libertarian is a country with a tiny state, limited only to military defense, courts, and police. For an anarcho-capitalist, however, there is no State with a monopolistic jurisdiction over final decisions.
You are confusing “free” with “progressivism.”
