Agorism is a libertarian social philosophy that advocates creating a society in which all relations between people are voluntary.
Others add to that philosophy by further advocating that exchanges can only be made by means of counter-economics, thus engaging with aspects of peaceful revolution. While counter-economics is supposed to be "the study or practice of all peaceful human action which is forbidden by the State", the term is short for "counter-establishment economics" which by its nature commonly does not allow the "establishment" to be free of its counter establishment activities.
Agorism is the ideology of a society that is supposedly promotes the open "marketplace untainted by theft, assault, or fraud" but many begin be defrauding the establishment. Even though Agorism professes the hope for an humanly attained free society agorist a ready to deny natural debt that establishes a social compact through natural law, and even deny generational inheritance of debt.
A free society is the only one in which each and everyone of its participants can satisfy his or her subjective values without crushing others' values by violence and coercion.
Samuel Edward Konkin III characterized agorism as a form of left-libertarianism (specifically, left-wing market anarchism) and generally that agorism is imagined to be a strategic branch of market anarchism.
Free-market anarchism, or market anarchism,is an economic system based on voluntary, free-market interactions without the involvement of the state.
Mutualists such as Kevin Carson and Gary Chartier consider themselves anti-capitalists and identify as part of the socialist movement. Socialism is not a voluntary society but compels the actions of the individual through the collective political power.
They seem to lack an understanding of where the power of the state existed before it became corporate body politic. The power of the state, the potestas and the emperium existed before the State.
Socialism is is an economic and political system. The political power to redistribute wealth and enforce economic policies will be in the hands of the collective or its elected representatives.
Capitalism is not a political system and therefore is the only way in which a truly voluntary society can function. In a capitalist society the means of production is in the hands of the individual not the collective nor corporate State.
Konkin and J. Neil Schulman opposed each other concerning the concept of intellectual property. Konkin wrote in an article entitled "Copywrongs" in support of such a thesis. Schulman criticized his ideas in "Informational Property: Logorights". They both opposed to the laws of the State that produced monopolies.
Neither seem to grasp the idea that only a moral society of people who are about their neighbor as much as themselves can produce a truly free society.
Many false agorists like Carson and Chartier, Konkin and Schulman must resort to coercion and usurpation of the individual's rights to establish their agorist utopian society.
If they do they are not an agorist.
They imagine that all the rich must be thieves.
When they establish their socialist or even capitalist society they imagine that things that are taken are stolen. They blame their poverty on others.
Things or even taxes are seldom stolen. People sign up, They become members numbered by the socialist Collective or the corporate State. They use their number as a member, take the benefits often other people's expense and then ignore any moral rules of the system they signed up for.
Neither the socialist Collective or the corporate State are very forgiving of the rule breakers but it will often be to late when the subject citizens realize they have waived their rights and became human resources when they first begin to disregard or failed to protect the right of their neighbor or desired benefits at the expense of others.
Social security systems of socialist Collective or the corporate State perpetually end up in dept. The Social Security system in America was in debt from the beginning because the government has been in debt since its beginning. No one has gotten a benefit in the United States except by stealing from their children and their neighbor's children's future.
