#Voluntaryism
Francis Dashwood Tandy - Voluntary Socialism
“Can’t you recommend some book which will give me a brief but lucid outline of your ideas?” is a question with which every propagandist is familiar. In spite of the extent and excellence of the literature of “Voluntaryism,” I have often found it difficult to supply this demand. It was, therefore, with the idea of helping myself that I undertook to write this sketch. But I trust that my work will not prove useless to others. It was my original intention to make the book so plain and simple, that almost anyone could understand it. But the intricacies of the subject are very great. And, while I have always aimed at simplicity of expression, I fear that those at least who are not familiar with the terms used in economic discussions, will find it hard to follow me in places.

Physical ‘can’ isn’t the grant. Reforming their law is the override. Either their wage-job law stands in that town, or you wipe it. Standing is voluntaryism, wiping is the ban. Pick one.

Some communities can recognize wage jobs. That’s different norms. You don’t get to call that voluntaryism and then void those contracts with ‘natural law.’ If the community recognizes the job, your plan isn’t the legal order, therefore abolition just died.

Different communities with different norms is voluntaryism. Then some communities can recognize wage jobs. That kills ‘every employment contract is invalid’ and ‘all courts.’ Pick: local norms, or society-wide ban.

Yes. That's the concept of voluntaryism. The freedom of choosing and the freedom of assoication.

Only capitalism doesn't need a state. In a free market economy, businesses rely on voluntaryism, not the state.

War is retarded because it destroys everything and create nothing. However competions did create something.
And what you sited is "state" capitalism. But voluntaryism is literally anti-statism.

"resources would be invested according to need/want rather than profit"
→That's voluntaryism, not communism. What's spontaneous voluntary exchanges among people called? Market.
Market is not hierarchy, employment is. Market can be P2P and decentralized.

'free association' and 'communal autonomy' are all well and good, but my mind drifts to Hannah Arendt arguing that desegregation undermined free association

this weird 'voluntaryism' where bigotry and exploitation are fine without state enforcement, idk, yeah, call me skeptical

It really is a scary possible reality but I feel like it's better to think of it now and watch the signs rather than be caught off guard. To me there are different ways anarchy could happen and the only good one that's an egalitarian system of voluntaryism and self determination is not on track to

Or just look up voluntaryism

If you'd please write about #orgone, #hashtag #orgonomic #science, no #orgonite BS either, it would save me lots of time. I finally posted Coinbase @o0ned & then CashApp $EdmondMauricePeyroux 3 or 4 years ago but decades I've begged only #voluntaryism.
I barely make time to #signal #vss365 everyday.

Voluntaryism, or absolute philosophical anarchism—the position that because no individual has the inherent right to rule another, any institution that claims a monopoly on force and demands non-consensual compliance is, by definition, an illegitimate extortion racket.

Except that it's your democracy that led you into the current shitshow, and/or was powerless to stop it. Decentralize power, to the individual. The centralized power of involuntary collectivism is simply too dangerous. It is a grave risk to perpetuate the shitstem.
Evolve.
Explore Voluntaryism.
Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power.

We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Great summary! Etienne's insights on voluntaryism are more relevant than ever. Thanks for sharing this Rumble link!
