Voluntaryism

Have you heard of Voluntaryism? I have been reading and researching this for quite some time, during my time away from the Hype. Let's talk. [YT]9Kclr98hhf8[/YT]

These are two videos that really break it down well.

It is centered around the philosophy of Liberty. It is living your life within the Non-Aggression Principle as it's center. "Thou Shalt not initiate the use of force against another individual."

 

That is a great question.

 

Sorry. At work. I'll try to get back to it in a bit.

 

Voluntaryism just means that all interactions must be voluntary, nothing coerced or by force.

 

First question is, how does the society now deal with violent crime. Not very well considering the basis of that "solution" is violence on people to pay for it through taxation. If you don't pay for the taxation, you are forced to at the point of a gun, and then threatened with a cage (prison).

In a Free Society, everyone and anyone could be, would be carrying a weapon. Or at the very least, would hire people to protect you.

Also, in a free society, jobs would be more plenty, therefore the "need" of crimes would be lowered.

Also, much of crime is because of the War on Drugs, which wouldn't exist in a Free Society.

EDITED:

Think of it as Prevention instead of cure.

 

That's why I said "Initiation" of force. Self defense does not Initiate force.

 

1. History, Reason and Evidence. Whenever entrepreneurs are free and able to start and grow their business without outside and centralized regulation, and when capital is freely able to flow into the Marketplace, and whenever risk is allowed to fail, jobs grow.

2. Same concept as nuclear deterrence. No nuclear country has ever went to war with another. Mutually assured destruction is a power thing. If you plan to harm someone, and know they can't defend themselves, nothing will stop you. But again, you are asking this question as if the current system actually solves these problems.

 

I appreciate the questions and the dialog. Saying that it hasn't ever existed and it's just a "dream" is the same argument used against Abolitionists 160+ years ago. Just because it doesn't exist now doesn't mean it isn't moral and just and right.

 

www.freedomainradio.com has over 2200 podcasts, over 1000 videos, and about a dozen free books to read or audiobook to listen to. Everything is free. Please listen or watch and let's discuss.

 

I think it is fair for people, if interested in it, can do a little research and we can have a dialog. I'm not your teacher or your father. If you want to have a discussion, we can. I'm open to talking about it.

 

Voluntaryism is also known as Anarcho-Capitalism where it is understood that the property is an extension of the actions of an individual and no different than a portion of the individual. You spend time and energy acquiring food that is disseminated by your body to feed and fuel and grow your cells. Just like you spend time and energy to acquire wealth to pay for that food. It's an extension of your Life and Liberty. And to remove a portion of your property by force is akin to removing a portion of your body. You can give your body Voluntarily, but if taken by force it is evil.

In this argument, the only evil in the world would be the Initiation of Force. Every action must be voluntary and without coercion. This would lead to happiness.

 

It should be understood that those people that abuse animals do so because they were abused as children. The Parents or someone in their community abused them first. The way they act toward animals, or other people for that matter is solely based on interactions they have had as children with adults. Children mimic and replicate the actions of adults until it becomes a portion of their personality. The words and actions of adults become ingrained into children, it becomes their inner voice as adults.

If children are raised peacefully, with respect to the Non-Aggression Principle, their would be no Animal Abuse or violence in the culture.

Voluntaryism is not a system that can be adopted and enforced. It is a system with no system. It is a philosophy on how we must live our lives if we want peace and happiness and respect for human life.

 

False. Voluntaryism is no Government. It's Rules without Rulers.
