Post On Agorism (Black Markets and Grey Markets) and Primitivism Reply with quote
Many of us aware of the situation facing the world are often looking for solutions or whining about the problems. Those of us that are solution oriented have put forward information that can in essence help us break the invisible chains.

However due to our differences in opinions on certain matters ranging from philosophical thought to what to do if we ever win this struggle, unity seems quite difficult to achieve. Should we give up our individualism for the greater good? Not necessarily.

As individuals there is much we can do to take down the system using our many ideas that have been brought forward. What must always be available to us due to our differences in opinion is choice.

Some of us, like myself, like certain aspects of civilization and money. In using agorism, counter-economics is the way to fight the system since it has been documented many times how the state does not like competition. Due to the coercion used by the state in collecting your portions of your income earned in labor that in itself is reason enough to engage in some form of counter-economics unless you are planning to go off the grid completely.

Examples of these include but are not limited to new forms of currency, build your own home, growing your own food, providing your own energy means, providing bartering, living on untaxed property, and providing your skill or trade off the books.

Primitivism or self sustained survival is a threat as well in its own right. When you decide to just stop using the system you are no longer filling your oppressors coffers with your labor. While being a survivalist is not easy it is certainly appealing to some and should not be discouraged. There was much to learn from all indigenous and nomadic people that has been lost because of hastiness to eradicate them. The human mind does not stop working when it steps out of civilization and I think there is still much to learn from nature.

Even syndicalists can turn the current system around if the incentive is there.

I think the concept of unity needs to be looked at from a different angle but I digress...
