RE: Updates on the new Stealth Transactions feature for Bitshares

in #news7 years ago

First of all, this is wonderful!

Now Ken can let me ask you here, when you guys say "Agorism", do you mean the original left-wing ideology and revolutionary theory of Konkin that amongst other things preached a complete rejection of white markets, voting, party politics and wage earnings? Or are you rather focusing on agorism the more modern left-right agnostic praxis that is spreading amongst voluntaryists (cooperative agorism ie anarchic civicism) of building a libertarian society?

I'm asking simply for the sake of communication. I support voluntaryism and this modern form of 'agorism' with all of my heart, but I'm not prepared to sanction all of Konkins ideas.

Sort:  

See the first paragraph here:

Anarchy itself literally means "without Rulers". It does not mean "no rules", or chaos. Agorists work to bring about a society of voluntary human-interactions by way of the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP), Peaceful Parenting and counter-economics. Agorism embraces free-market alternatives, rendering governments and the use of force obsolete.

I'm sure Konkin has a lot of ideas, but it doesn't mean I agree with all (or any) of them. The above paragraph pretty much sums it up for me though. Instead of fighting tyranny nowadays, I prefer to just set the example in how I live, and build things that will peacefully render it/them obsolete.

Got it. Then we're thinking the same way, which is even more assuring to know. ^

Personally, I think he got it after you explained it...
