Please enjoy this recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined again by Paul Gordon, of the Disassociation Nation. Herein we discussed the new Anarchy Action Meeting, gangverment, taking down the State via non-compliance, creating opportunities for greater cooperation, dog training with the NAP, BipCoin, the anti-Federalists vs the Federalists, fear of the fire marshal, self-regulating flea markets, granny’s museum room, and more!
Teens are often accused of being rebellious for no particular reason, rebels without a cause if you will. They resist authority for the sake of resisting authority. Many of them would enthusiastically embrace the term Anarchist for the revolutionary connotation associated with it, not understanding any of its philosophy whatsoever. Perhaps this is how many Anarchists begin their journey but it often does not end when one reaches adulthood.
Once this initial angry phase has passed what remains is a calm and peaceful demeanor of steadfast individuality based firmly in principles. The philosophic understanding of Anarchy and Voluntaryism is much more important as it demonstrates that Anarchists are not simply a bunch of edgy teenagers who resist all rules and seek to destroy property, rather they endeavor to live as consistent as possible with the principles and morality they espouse.
When children are raised with a clear moral compass and conscience they will not seek to be led by political predators nor will they look to State mandates as a measure of right and wrong. Such children will not recognize anyone to have rights they do not possess. They will not believe that morality can be twisted or perverted by religious rituals known as elections, voting, and legislation. Indeed they will grow to create a world wherein every person is morally responsible for every action that is taken. Complete accountability will be ubiquitous and natural. This is a world a look forward to with hope and anticipation. I will do everything in my power to bring it about through education and the spreading of powerful and peaceful ideas. Vacate the State!
A libertarian is someone who believes in the non-aggression principle. An anarchist is someone who understands it. An agorist is someone who practices it.

Halloween is the epitome of the meritocratic competitive Free Market. The person who displays the most creative and intricate costume is rewarded with praise and good graces. It encourages innovation and hard work. Healthy competition always produces top quality products. A respect for the unwritten rules of the market is universal. Violence or threats of violence are shunned and spurned. Candy is the currency paid for productive work that others value.
Good ideas do not require force. If your ideas require force than your ideas are worthless. The violence of the State is sought after by those who are inadequate or incapable to legitimately compete in the Free Market of ideas. The power of their words cannot survive based on intrinsic value and voluntary interaction alone. These are the ideas that must be vigorously resisted and demonstrated to be false. Let them loose in the arena of conversation and we will see how they fare. The truth need not be protected. Let it free and it will take care of itself.

Please enjoy this recent episode of the Seeds of Liberty Podcast. This week we were joined again by Shane Buell. Herein we discussed the Medicine Tribe Festival, reaching to the supporters of election losers, cancelling Sirius/XM, roving festivals, plans for SeedsFest 2017, Trump’s claim of accepting the election results only if he wins, the timing of planting freedom seeds, and more!
It is the goal of many people to be self sufficient; to grow their own food, catch rain water, filter their own water, raise their own livestock, knit/sew their own clothes, build their own homes etc. While these are admirable and noble goals to gain independence and expand one’s skill set, they are not necessary. Indeed they are actually counter productive to the growth of a thriving market economy. As the economy grows through free trade and technology becomes more intricate, new jobs are created to service and maintain that new technology in order to meet that swelling demand. In response to a growing demand for more specialized goods and services, enterprising entrepreneurs rise to meet that demand with gusto. This is the origin of the elusive new jobs that politicians enthusiastically lust after with the sophistry that spews from their mouths.
This principle is true on the individual level as it is true on the regional or geographical level. The region known as NY is ideal for growing apples. The region known as Georgia is ideal for growing peaches. The region known as Mexico is ideal for growing avocados. Due to the magnificence of free trade, people living in the NY region can enjoy avocados and peaches, people living in the Georgia region can enjoy avocados and apples, and people living in the Mexico region can enjoy apples and peaches. It may be possible for people living in the NY region to grow avocados and peaches but this would come at considerable cost and effort. This would an inefficient use of resources and would be quite unsustainable. It is far more efficient for farmers in NY to focus on growing that which comes easiest and then to trade for that which is more difficult to grow. This is the principle of specialization at the regional or geographical level.
This free trade increases standards of living and makes us all wealthier. As traveling technology has improved by leaps and bounds this has expanded the reach of markets to satisfy demands in distant lands. As the Internet has grown and developed this has obliterated borders and rendered nation States irrelevant and antiquated. The more we trade with our brothers and sisters all over the globe the less need we have for opportunistic political predators who seek only to divide and vex us with their inflammatory rhetoric. It is the bureaucratic parasite that is wholly dependent on the industrious host for its subsistence. We need only acknowledge our independence of the State and its existence will pass away into oblivion. Vacate the State!
When goods don’t cross borders, soldiers will.
Frederic Bastiat, 19th century French economist and author
