I don't care about Bitcoin Cash.
I don't care about Steem.
I don't care about gold.
All I care about is how these things can help me to live as I please.
In the only state that I have ever approved of,
a state of perpetual and enduring freedom.
I don't care about writing.
I don't care about books.
I don't give a fuck about blogging, or video uploads, or content
beyond the capacity these things have to set me free,
mind, body, and soul.
Get fucked if you're looking for something else.
And get fucked if you want me to.
Gardens of gold, friends and relationships is all I can think about.
Freedom of movement. Freedom of power.
Freedom of all to simply be.
To not be held hostage.
To not be subject to fear
beyond that which is a necessary and natural part of life.
All I want is for folks to have a home
that isn't corrupted by parasites.
All I want is for you to leave me alone when I wish to be,
and I will do the same for you.
All I owe you is non-violence.
All I want is anarchy.
Why do you prefer chaos?

Graham Smith is a Voluntaryist activist, creator, and peaceful parent residing in Niigata City, Japan. Graham runs the "Voluntary Japan" online initiative with a presence here on Steem, as well as Facebook and Twitter. (Hit me up so I can stop talking about myself in the third person!)
Anarchy, or the term which I prefer—individualism, would take care of nearly every social problem man faces. But it all starts with ourselves.

What are your thoughts on using the term Voluntarism? I do like Individualism. Its unfortunate that Anarchy has been so butchered by the MSM that you cannot have a conversation because most people have an image of collapse and disorder.

Yeah, anarchy has been butchered to death even though it's valid to use in the proper sense. Voluntaryism I like, but sort of awkward name for a philosophy for those who don't understand.
Individualism is an older more encompassing term in my opinion. Yes, there are negative connotations to individualism also as some people think it means being a hermit or not caring about others; but this is nonsense, in general it's a more fundamental concern for the individual and his sovereignty being the primary thing and not subject to whims of the collective.

Good morning Kafka...Beautifully written.. its very true.. All we need is freedom of our body, mind and soul where there is no fear , restrictions, corruptions , helding hostages , wars etc. We need the freedom of power where we can prove as individuals and where the state does not interfere ...
I am resteeming it... and have a nice day..

I have doubts. Controlled or uncontrolled anarchy?
Because in Venezuela there is a communist government with a population that thinks itself anarchist but uncontrolled.

Well, I am talking about real individualism, and not the pseudo-anarchism of traditional Spanish "anarchism." People can make whatever rules they like, wherever they live, to apply to their own body and property (and not to those of another individual) as long as everything is consensual and voluntary. Once consent is broken by violence, self-defense is a legitimate response.
Everything is based on the immutable and objective reality of nature-conferred "self-ownership." When the economic reality of scarcity is considered, then there is only one way to minimize violent conflict, and that is through property norms. There is only one natural, universalizable basis for property norms, and that is individual self-ownership.
Voluntaryism is anarchism.

Now I understand you friend and you are right.
It is regrettable that in my country the property rules are being cornered, where little by little the State takes over everything.
Imagine now that there is a law against hate, a comment on twitter that "they" say that hatred can give you a sentence of up to 25 years, that's more than committing a murder.
We can not feel and express ourselves anymore.
Greetings.

if only people where not that closed mind to at least consider listening and start tu trully understand what does anarchy means and how they surely agreed with the all the concepts that its embraces we surely will be living a catalyzed transformation to a libertarian philosophy with a amazing potencial too bust human kind forward understanding that by the end of the day the individual and its free relationship with others without being under control of 3rd s is what in fact do that.

It's crazy because all of the people seek the freedom inside their hearts. It's just hard for us to measure and predict what will get us there.
We create conflict while seeking for freedom. If freedom means to be free, why conflicting?

Because some people don't understand property, basically. You should Google "individual self ownership" and "voluntaryism." Cheers my friend.

If you are the only sheep.
One sheep has figured out that the sheep actually can fight back and they don’t need a dog or a shepherd. One dog noticed that sheep and he knew what it was up to. He smelled a rebellion. All what the dog had to say is “This sheep is one of us and you all better listen to it”

You have perfectly misunderstood what I mean by anarchy. I do not mean a lack of rules or discipline, per se. If you check out the philosophy of Voluntaryism, that might give you a better idea.
Here's a post I wrote about the topic. We probably agree on most things, actually, I'd guess, reading the post you just wrote.

Anarchy is impolite? Where did you get that idea? Why are you doing this? Can I help you with something?
I’m glad to read anyone’s blog, upvote and comment.
However, all you have done here is say “Nice post. Look at mine,” essentially.
I said “No, thanks” as you said nothing specifically about my post. To me, this is little more than link farming. Now you have flagged me for declining your invitation.
What am I missing here?
