Idea: A Series of Videos in Which Voluntaryists Narrate Their Evolutions. Your Turn. :D

Update: Jason Talley did this. See his Evolutionaries Project. Link to Yours Here Please post a comment here with a link to your video. Eventually, when we have enough, we can leverage them into a marketing campaign or possibly even a documentary? You never know. I’m psyched to see yours!

The Free Me Project, or Worldwide Open Source Peaceful Evolution

After my move to New Hampshire fell through, I thought, why don’t I just do here what I planned to do in the free state? I considered all those people that are in the same boat as me – aching to work effectively towards liberty but lacking like-minded comrades and, in some cases, even an […]

In Search of a Master Plan for Liberty

I‘m in search of a master plan for liberty. I want a simple list of rules or principles that I can use to reliably guide me towards liberty – that state of being where I’m free from government (aggression) – so I can just live a regular life. Just do it! If Only … “So […]

Montgomery County, PA Sheriff’s Office: Self-Defense is a Privilege, not a Right

In my quest to carry a concealed handgun without risking imprisonment, I visited the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office in Norristown, Pennsylvania again today to submit their “Application for a Pennsylvania License to Carry Firearms” (an entirely unconstitutional obstacle).

Revamping My Liberty Activism Plans

Since my move to New Hampshire fell through, I’ve been occupied with furnishing my house, fighting weird allergic reactions, completing my involvement in planning my high school 20th reunion, recuperating from being ill with possibly the swine flu and otherwise getting my family and myself settled into our new lives in North America. I had […]

Ian of Keene Leads the Way to Peaceful Evolution

Here is an op that appears to be entirely consistent with the peaceful evolution concept I talked about a couple days ago. The little dictators dba The Government in Keene, NH demanded that Ian Freeman (of Free Talk Live) pay them $2,700 FRN for the privilege of continued possession of his house. Leveraging the Robbery […]

Should We Just Cave to Government Demands?

Jay4Liberty, an online acquaintance, said the other day that he happily forked over his tax payments knowing it would keep him out of jail and couldn’t give a damn about the consequences. Upon questioning, he confirmed that he did not care one iota about the death and destruction reigned down on innocents courtesy of his […]

Is Sam’s Change of Course Tactically Consistent?

Sam Dodson talks about his experience in jail in this 52-minute video recorded at PorcFest. It’s entertaining and even inspiring at times, so I recommend you at least check out the first 33 minutes. At the same time, I noticed a few things in the video that just don’t jive. Why is Sam using a […]

Is “Telling it Like it is” Counterproductive?

Lately I’ve been getting flak for telling it like it is about minarchists and calling self-identified anarchists who participate in government anarchists-in-name-only. Is telling things straight and without candy-coating counterproductive? Am I alienating potential “converts”? Is this moralizing? Should I be catching bees with honey instead of speaking truth to people who are supposed to […]

Are Minarchists Worse than Socialists?

Jay4Liberty recently posted a great question in the comments: “Which is worse…flat out socialists who want to increase the size, expense and tyranny of government or minarchists who want to shrink down as far as possible.” And my answer is the minarchists are worse. Counter-intuitive, perhaps, but here’s why. Government is Inherently Evil Government can […]
