2006-2007 comments[edit]

This article is fuzzy and vague and doesn't accurately reflect the ideas of the person who coined the term at all. See this. I don't think this should be deleted outright, but it should probably be merged into Agorism. Thoughts? KleenupKrew 02:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article should simply redirect to Economic secession... Two-Bit Sprite 18:12, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It could also redirect to Underground economy, or have a small text about the etymological source, with links to Agorism, Underground economy, and economic secession. Hashuz 20:32, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Two-Bit Sprite, a merge with Economic secession makes the most sense, as that term seems to be used very similarly. Merging into Economic secession is probably better than vice versa, as it's more descriptive of the topic.--Eloil 00:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it separate[edit]

I'm new to these aspects of politics (though not new to libertarian ideas), but here are my thoughts. I think agorism seems to encompass more than just economics, and the specific idea, essentially, that money can be whatever the trading parties believe it is, is important. Note that stated as I did, this sounds straightforward, but as we speak, creators of different forms of money than Federal Reserve notes and US Mint coins in the United States are being persecuted because the government does not want the competition. This is only possible because the idea (that money is whatever the individuals trading think is money) has become controversial--I.E., the people of the United States largely think of money only as that which is produced in franchise with the U.S. Government. On the content of North America, before and after the creation of the United States, money had been created and used by several other parties, in the "mainstream." Today, that is no longer mainstream. It seems odd to some, but it's obviously happened. I believe Agorists want counter-economics renewed because of the empowerment that independence from the surrounding government and its supporters would bring. I think you can see how some would say that it's a separate topic from Agorism, though Agorism does seem to leverage it. I hope my contribution is seen as respectful and insightful, though I admit to being a newbie to the topic. 206.124.31.24 06:59, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
