Q: Why Agorism?

A: According to SEK3 in his New Libertarian Manifesto,

The basic principle which leads a libertarian from statism to his free society is the same which the founders of libertarianism used to discover the theory itself. That principle is consistency. Thus, the consistent application of the theory of libertarianism to every action the individual libertarian takes creates the libertarian society.



As we currently live under administrations perfectly content to see men die and suffer as long as the ruling class continues to dominate over the entrepreneurial one, the need for libertarian revolution appears evident, but to find any success in doing that libertarians must consistently apply their principles to all aspects of life - including their tactics to overthrow the state.

To summarize, SEK3 put it best in the NLM when he said,

With a State tainting every act and befouling our minds with unearned guilt, it becomes extremely important to understand the social consequences of our acts. For example, if we fail to pay at tax and get away with it, who is hurt: us? The State? Innocents? Libertarian analysis shows us that the State is responsible for any damage to innocents it alleges the “selfish tax-evader” has incurred; and the “services” the State “provides” us are illusory. But even so, there must be more than lonely resistance cleverly concealed or “dropping out?” If a political party or revolutionary army is inappropriate and self-defeating for libertarian goals, what collective action works? The answer is agorism.
