here here, Micheal Malice's "The Anarchist Handbook" will give you intellectual ammo for those with open minds. (me and 3 others are seeding it on i2psnark. Only the audio book is availiable in i2p at this time)

William Powell's "The anarchist cookbook" (availiable to read on my eepsite MiXYsFHYS1tt3St3.i2p ) will inform you of methods for those more closed minded and powerful.

trust breeds power breeds cooruption ....everytime. we must reduce our dependancy (quit cigarrettes, self-sustinance, ect.) and increase our independance (good gun's, good training <---- this cannot be emphasized enough)

I figure if you point it out but you lack a plan to do something about it, that really isn't all that helpful, but I hear you on the rest of your points. I can devise about ten plans that would deal with the problems Paul points out, and I'm not paid to be a politician.

I wouldn't put the blame on the things he highlighted as not changing because of him. Sadly we've got big government republicans and democrats that get propped up in the media and receive an absurd amount of funding where other parties or individuals get ignored. It's hard for non-mainstream messaging to get out to the masses and for that to influence change in government.

It's sad that we don't have a pro-liberty, pro-fiscal responsibility, and an American first candidate. It's sad that none of the candidates nowadays seem to reference history and the constitution as a basis for shaping their policies.

What if Ron Paul made a speech 13 years ago and none of that stuff has fundamentally changed due to the actions of Ron Paul?

Lol, yeah this guy is a little excessively peaceful. Too obsessed with ideology instead of just analyzing what works. I still thought the article had good suggestions though. I think a mixture of tactics is necessary.

no all or nothing thinking

revolution must be an evolution

protest peacefully

we observe the non aggression principle we will remain lawful

initiation of force is always wrong

Mike made reference to purchasing firearms in his excellent article and I have necessarily removed those

Thank you brave agorist, I can see your resolve.

Is there more context to this?

Nice. But how would you teach kids about jewish money?

Federated systems have the potential to be the future.

I personally became an anarchist without reading a particular book, it was a combination of things that I had read, and Murray Rothbard's For A New Liberty certainly cemented the ideas, but Larken's book was well thought out, and up-to-date so that's what I usually recommend people to listen to.

I still think the old-school guys have useful books, but sometimes the things people like Rothbard said, can be off-putting to people, or give them the wrong idea of what we believe.

I'll concede that there are some things where everyone benefits from having one large entity negotiate better conditions for everyone. Like health care. If you go up against the pharma industry as one guy, they screw you over. If you go up against them as a state, they'll have a harder time. The magic word is negotiate, if the state runs things, everyone gets fucked.

And there needs to be a way to opt out and do private health care instead.

I'm also expecting the state to do infrastructure, like laying internet cables or water pipes to where people live, even if it is remote. It's fine to use tax money for that. But once it's done, reduce the taxes again.

I'm still waiting for my hostname to propagate through the network -_-

Sharing is caring. It's okay.

ha i just noticed you already posted this on f/memes

This just makes me want to watch Narcos all over again.

yes. i LOVE Larken's book SO MUCH. I'm working on mirroring the good stuff on my eepsite, for what it's worth. I uploaded the audiobook of it yesterday

I'll be honest, I left most of the 'liberty movement' awhile ago, because I got tired of their constant bickering about who was being mean to who on twitter, but I do know that Larken Rose's "The Most Dangerous Superstition" is a good book, I had already accepted the ideas and concepts laid out in the book, but it summed them up quite well, and in a fairly non-offensive manner.

One that is a very old, but very good one is Spooner's famous No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, which will hit on the fact the constitution, particularly the 2nd amendment, is ignored until it is politically helpful to invoke it.

I'd personally make it a point to target gun owners who see the ridiculousness going on, and want to distance themselves from it, they're being disenfranchised by the trumpians who are going out making fools of themselves, and have NO friends in the mainstream left.

Great post, and I agree 100%.

The thing is, many people from both sides would find our ideas quite reasonable. It's essentially a party of personal liberties. <insert meme about gay couple protecting weed plants with guns here>

Who are some up and coming budding Libertarians to follow? I'll admit that I don't follow things as closely as perhaps I should, though I resignate with the ideas, I can't pick faces out of a crowd (if that makes sense).
