Counter Economics is alot of different things. Counter Economics is the wild idea that we can manifest a stateless society by means of direct economic action. Its not a secret that the monetary system is fiat and dependant upon mere confidence (taxation).
If that is true then we can either decrease the value of the dollar significantly or we can destroy the monetary system completely. It is very possible Counter Economics wont be fully successful. One thing is forsure, with hyper-inflation the state is going to be too broke to win whatever fight may be left. It is time we stop being slaves, stop acting like the taxes we fork over are not going into destroying our liberty and that of people all around the world.
If agorism doesnt create the new system habitual natured humans can easily fall back into the trap they despise. We can merely pull the plug on anything if we have a new found system to partake in. Without that new system based on voluntaryism a group can easily use fear to gain monetary power.
Can we really be advocating freedom while we pay taxes in fear? Should we all not be moving towards creating a stateless society where government is obsolete? Could the best course of action possibly be agorism and counter economics? Even Steemit is counter economics(which is awesome). I may not know all of the answers when it comes to what a stateless society may be like, or even the best method of getting there. Agorism seems the only way i can fight back without being violent, without breaking principles i believe in. If you want a peaceful revolution counter economics might be for you.
The only difference between these two notes ... is that one is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government (for whatever that is worth) and if you try to copy it, the Secret Service will kick down your door and carry you away for a long time, and you can keep as much as you want of the other without being taxed any differently.
There seems to be a slight flaw in your thesis.
Secret Service?
Odd name.
Secret from who? What service do they provide? To who?
Well something based on confidence has no actual value. Seeing as fiat money can be anything they are only different via an illusion.
Are you actually claiming that having armed people drag you away for forging USD is an illusion? I never knew illusions could be so dangerous!
Did i say that? Stop being a straw man king. Because violence somehow values fiat money? It has equal commidity value as monopoly money. Its backed by cobfidence and so could monopoly money lol
You missed the connection. Sorry for being unclear. When you say it is "based on confidence" you are incorrect. The Secret Service taking action to protect the integrity of the currency is much more concrete than that. Likewise laws and institutions (such as the treasury department) that can take action to prop up the money in hard times ensure that it is not simply "based on confidence." There are lots of people and structures that go to a lot of trouble to give fiat money a stable base. Whether or not they are effective is another story (I don't think they are). But if you want to have a discussion, you should consider those relevant facts.
