"If one takes care of the means, the end will take care
of itself."
Statement of Purpose: Voluntaryists are advocates of non-political, non-violent strategies to achieve
a free society. We reject electoral politics, in theory and in practice, as incompatible
with libertarian principles. Governments must cloak their actions in an aura
of moral legitimacy in order to sustain their power, and political methods invariably
strengthen that legitimacy. Voluntaryists seek instead to delegitimize the State
through education, and we advocate withdrawal of the cooperation and tacit consent
on which State power ultimately depends.
A VOLUNTARYIST CONTEST
How do you explain to people that Taxation is Theft? The Voluntaryist is running an essay contest
seeking great answers to this important question. The grand prize has
already grown from one ounce of silver to five ounces of silver plus one bitcoin
as more supporters sweeten the pot.

Quote of the Day
The question in Genesis 4:9, “Am I my brother's keeper?” has nothing to do with how we treat others. It is a singular reference to Abel, and not to mankind at large. A more appropriate metaphor addresses the question, “Who is my neighbor?” or “Who among all the poor of the world are we morally responsible to feed?” The Parable of the Good Samaritan provides answers: anyone within the sphere of our personal knowledge or experience who is in desperate need. The Samaritan used his own personal resources to succor the stranger. He did not attempt to push the poor fellow's care off on the authorities, or to steal from rich travelers in order to assist the victim. - Ned Netterville
