Voluntaryism
The common sense idea that human associations should be voluntary… with the assertion that any act of violence other than self-defense, whether by an individual, organization or government, is illegitimate and unlawful.
It recognizes that the world is a self-organizing system that produces spontaneous order and that all government “services” would be better provided by the free market, mutual aid societies, nonprofits, and real charities.
What is
Voluntaryism?
Voluntaryism is the commonsense idea that all relationships between people must be voluntary. That no one is allowed to use violence or extortion on anyone else. No one gets an exemption from morality, especially “government.” No one gets the “ring of power” because there isn’t a ring of power!
It has also been called the Philosophy of Human Respect in that it is the only political “ISM” that respects the natural law rights of others. Somewhat inherent in the philosophy is the understanding that the world is a self-organizing system that produces spontaneous order, and everything that “government” does would be done better, faster, and cheaper by the free market, mutual aid societies, armed protective service providers, insurance companies, non-profits, and genuine charities.
We believe it is the most censored political philosophy in the world because it exposes the illegitimacy and criminality of the “government” which is using violence, extortion, and unethically manipulative techniques to trick the population into going along with a ruling class that has rights that other people don’t.
Our companion book “Government” – The Biggest Scam in History… Exposed! breaks down the unethically manipulative techniques that the inter-generational organized crime system behind fractional reserve banking and their puppets in the “government” and monopolized media use to create obedience, fealty and adoration for “government” in the population.
This book is focused on solutions and explaining the economics, market mechanisms and the free-market solutions that can provide all the legitimate non-redistributive services that are provided by “government.” After all, if everyone knew you could get everything you wanted from the free market without the waste, fraud, abuse, violence, and extortion of “government” AND be dramatically wealthier in a more harmonious world, why would anyone support and/or advocate for “government”?
Especially when advocating for “Government” produces negative karma because you are advocating for violence against your friends, family and neighbors who disagree. If you are advocating for voluntaryism, there is no negative karma because you are simply advocating for REAL freedom and the ability for your friends, family and relatives to be able to choose the school, relationships, protective services, and retirement programs that best meet their needs.
The Moral Case for Voluntaryism
The title of this book points out that voluntaryism is the only “ISM” that is fair for everyone. Every other political “ISM” from socialism, to communism, to constitutional republicanism has a ruling class that has rights that you don’t. It is a completely illogical and immoral position to assert that the majority has the right to violate the minority just because the mob outnumbers their victim. It is the moral equivalent of gang rape or lynching.
But the moral case for voluntaryism doesn’t rest solely on this one use case. A number of other moral principles and ethical considerations make it the only option for moral and logically consistent people.
