Q:Is Agorism a strategy or a philosophy?

A: To some extent, Agorism is a bit of both. Though Agorism was originally formulated as a strategy, it also serves as a slightly distinct philosophy from other libertarian groups.

For example, whereas some libertarians focus on economic progress through companies headed by individuals or collectives, as an alternative, agorists focus on a mode of production based upon individual entrepreneurs that may sometimes work in cooperatives, but exist, primarily, as self-managers. Desiring to replace the proletariat with an “entrepreneuriat,” agorists do possess a distinctive philosophy similar to that of most left libertarians.

At the same time, however, Agorism is primarily a strategy and though, like Anarcho-Syndicalism, it does possess some normative positions, for the most part, agorists are focused on achieving the libertarian society through tactical execution.
