Nonarchy? Hmm, somebody has been spending time at the Mises Forum.

Idunno who. Conza was dropping the word weeks ago and I suddenly remembered having no idea what he was talking about at the time.

Probably just means the same thing as anarchy.

The root ward is "archy", and the prefixes "an" and "non" both negate the word they modify.

Statelessness. It's an alternative name for anarchy, without the negative connotations.

Here's a new one. Anonymarchy... Rule by anonymous people.

I prefer autarchy. It makes more sense in the context of proper English. :cool::D

I believe the proper spelling would be anonarchy. (though I've never put thought to it, I'll admit.)

Are Libertarians "Anarchists"? by Murray N. Rothbard (http://mises.org/story/2801)

I refuse to be associated with traditional socialists, because I'm not that dumb. Why would I associate myself with a label that has been trashed because of scum like that? Tools who want to get rid of the state, because they think it protects private property, ROFL! By it's mere existence, it has to violate it. Tools, who violate the non aggression axiom (principle) and private property rights.



"We must conclude that the question "are libertarians anarchists?" simply cannot be answered on etymological grounds. The vagueness of the term itself is such that the libertarian system would be considered anarchist by some people and archist by others. We must therefore turn to history for enlightenment; here we find that none of the proclaimed anarchist groups correspond to the libertarian position, that even the best of them have unrealistic and socialistic elements in their doctrines. Furthermore, we find that all of the current anarchists are irrational collectivists, and therefore at opposite poles from our position.

We must therefore conclude that we are not anarchists, and that those who call us anarchists are not on firm etymological ground, and are being completely unhistorical. On the other hand, it is clear that we are not archists either: we do not believe in establishing a tyrannical central authority that will coerce the noninvasive as well as the invasive. Perhaps, then, we could call ourselves by a new name: nonarchist. Then, when, in the jousting of debate, the inevitable challenge "are you an anarchist?" is heard, we can, for perhaps the first and last time, find ourselves in the luxury of the "middle of the road" and say, "Sir, I am neither an anarchist nor an archist, but am squarely down the nonarchic middle of the road."

So to the dolts here who attack "anarchy", I agree. Pity it is always a strawman, and totally irrelevant to non-archy and anarcho-capitalism. Which is always what I am defending.

I also enjoy asking what books these people have read on the subject. What they know about the system they are attempting to bash. Because the reaction is roughly always the same: intellectual dishonesty - "I haven't read any books, but I'm entitled to my ignorant opinion. I don't want to show my ignorance, so I'll avoid answering the question at all costs."

It's also helpful, because it avoids mentioning a word that has been drilled into peoples heads over decades of indoctrination. From public schools, tv programs, news, media, movies.. and universities. The state can only maintain power through ideology, it is the cloak it raps itself in. It needs the help of the "intellectuals". It falls apart if the populace thinks it shouldn't exist. That simple.

If war is the health of the state, and we know what lengths it goes to. The same goes for the ideological battle.

nonarchy is just not really a word. But to answer what is meant from whoever made it up, I think that it is very much like anarchy only with a slight difference. That difference being that nonarchy is not really evident, maybe sort of like "underground." Nonarchy is noncompliance with any authority, but at the same time, not necessarily making it known that you are against the authority. I think it's safe to say that a nonarchist is an anarchist, but an anarchist is not necessarily a nonarchist because anarchist may have the goal of creating a movement of protest and resistance while the nonarchist just lives life avoiding obeying authority.

Haha, and it worked. ;)

Everyones got an esoteric agenda.

I'm just not a fcken fool - I'm not propagating the enemies talking points.

The socialists have a shitload of them. You use it, you lose, or start considerably behind the 8 ball.

i.e Substitute "voluntary exchange" with say "profit" or better yet: "exploit" - then try convince someone neutral that capitalism is good. :rolleyes:

THANK YOU, conza!! I've been saying this kind of thing for a while, but I hope it sinks in to RPFers now that you've said it too. :cool::D

The problem is autarchy sounds just like autarky (economic isolationism), which is a bad thing.

Is that the system we have now? In this democracy, it is never revealed who the actual individuals of the majority are.

Imagine if people knew who voted to steal more of their money? People would act in revenge and the entire system would collapse.

Better still, we should start making up words of our own to slam the big government goons with.

Anyone like 'Fedarchy'? That would be a fun one to introduce. Stick it on a vid of congresscritters admitting who really runs the Capitol.

non-archy: the practice of engaging with others in a way that leaves total freedom to the individual. no power vested in any one person over any other. See 'Operation Kickstart' http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=200235
