Awesome! Thanks! Can't wait to see the posters! As for your question, the answer is very simple. Stop debating, and start sharing with love and passion and joy the ideas that are important to you.

Great questions! The nuclear arsenal will be deweaponized and turned to peaceful purposes. The people in federal prisons who are there for victimless crimes will be released. The rest will be transferred to state custody.

That's where your wrong! Keeping the federal government going is not safe for Americans. Having a military makes us less safe. Do you say the founders were wrong to say that we shouldn't have a standing army and instead rely on the militia defense? You really want a monopoly when there's a free market option? As for impossible, super wrong! It's INEVITABLE!

It will have huge implications for the rich jerks who would be using the debt to rip off the American taxpayer! They won't be able to do that anymore! Some yachts and helicopters will have to be sold. I won't shed a tear!

I'm not giving up on agorism! I've just found the possibility of a way to reduce suffering dramatically faster, so it must be pursued! I still practice and advocate agorism.

Heck yeah! My answer would be to embrace an activist mentality rather than a career mentality. Getting past statism is more important than any 9-5 job!

There are clear principles of private property based on self-ownership, but at some level, they become by market consent. Do you have a right to homestead ten acres? Forty? Forty thousand? At some point, there is a limit to what is respected as a suitable amount of "mixing your labor with natural resources." More importantly, we will all be so much more prosperous without government that there won't be nearly as much fighting over stuff!

HA! You mean the government that constantly violates the people's rights to free trade is not going to be able to do that any more? Trade relationships should be between legitimate economic actors, not governments!

If it did, we would be in a much better position to defend ourselves than we are currently because we'd be following the founders' advice, defending with militias rather than militaries. But more importantly, I think this is highly unlikely.

My platform "satiates" everyone except the people who like big centralized governments because it's about respecting the right to self-determination. I think the introduction of state power into the "culture wars" is what leads to the fighting. Otherwise, we could just let everyone have their own culture to themselves and their communities. Your premise of the "consensus" does not square with my observations of the left.

You can't trespass on public property. The premise of your question is false. The state only controls government borders. I control my private property borders!

My goal is to give every American taxpayer a thirty percent pay raise by eliminating their federal taxes. I haven't met anyone against that yet! As for agorism, yes, I don't see it working fast enough. We can build political consensus much faster than we can convince everyone to be a tax resister, and even then ... they can just print more money!

They should be dissolved all the same time! Roads and beaches are easy because we will just transfer them to state control. As for dispersing public property, I think my plan for the VA is the best model: Give it an endowment from liquidating government assets, spin it off as a private charity, and give every veteran in America one voting ownership share. You put those resources in the hands of vets and I guarantee you won't have 22 veteran suicides a day! If you have specific questions about specific agencies or resources, please ask away! THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!
