Basket Brigade Exemplifies Civil Society

But who will take care of the poor [in the absence of government]?!

Such questions are often posted by those who haven’t through through a reality without a top-down, centralized bureaucracy that can only give to some what it takes from others. I don’t berate those who have such a knee-jerk reaction when they hear someone advocate for a world without institutions based on violence, after all, most people are exposed only to the religion of the State in gun-run schools and via the lamestream media. But think about it for a moment – how frugal or cost-effective would your expenditures be if you had unlimited access to everyone’s money (or could just print money out of thin air)? Not very. Or how likely would you be to learn from bad purchases? Not very.

Pete & Ademo’s Agora session on CopBlock, Voluntaryism & More

Besides Liberty On Tour, Ademo and I devote a lot of our time to Cop Block, which he founded back in Feb. of 2010. It’s a project that has found a lot of traction.

Last week, we engaged in a two-hour dialogue with others in the second Agora I/O in back-to-back sessions on “Brainstorm with Cop Block: Your Feedback, Ideas & Involvement Wanted!” and “Police Interaction and Accountability: Q&A with Cop Block.”

The conversation itself was a bit more freewheeling on topics related to Copblocking, voluntaryism, private defense agencies, tactics and more.

There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.

Striking the root is a concept advocated by abolitionist, individualist anarchist and trancendetalist Henry David Thoreau. He believed that striking the cause (the “root”) was preferable to hacking at the effects (the “branches”).
